SERVER command, and displays the result. The DICT protocol is defined in RFC
2229 and is a protocol which allows a client to query a dictionary server for

The SHOW server command must be implemented and depending on access will show
server information and accessible databases. If authentication is required, the
list of databases will not be shown.
