How to export a MySQL query as CSV

For instance, if you're trying to get all of the users from the 'users' table:

SELECT * FROM users

Append this onto the end of the query to output the results to a file /tmp/users.csv

INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/users.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'

SELECT *
FROM users
INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/user.csv'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
