CentOS 7, restoring Mysql database from .sql file

Question

I am on CentOS 7 on a VMWare machine.

I am applying the following command to restore Mysql database from .sql file:

[root@mywebhosting /]# mysql -u user –p password portaldb < mysql_dump.sql

I hope the command is correct but getting the following message/help:

I searched a lot and got the same command everywhere.

Any help on what am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance.
