Run mysqld --help --verbose.
It will print something like:

...
Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf /usr/local/mysql/etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf 
The following groups are read: mysqld server mysqld-5.1 mariadb mariadb-5.1
...

And you'll see what files and what groups it reads.
