my.cnf file missing and cannot be found at any directory

I recently removed mysql 5.1 an installed mysql 5.6 on my CENTOS 6 x86 OS. When I try to look for the my.cnf file it is missing from these directories:

mysqld --verbose --help | grep -A 1 "Default options"

=

/etc/my.cnf, /etc/mysql/my.cnf, and ~/.my.cnf.

Now I went to my mysql home directory which is /var/lib/mysql to find the .cnf file but all I found was auto.cnf.

Does anyone have any ideas? Could I just download a my.cnf file and place it in one of those directories?

The location is changed to /mysql.d, and the filename is changed to something like mysqld.cnf. Also, there's a similar question somewhere (maybe duplicate here or there).

I am running Centos 6.5. When I went to install MySQL-server.X86_64 5.6.12-2.el6, it put my.cnf in /usr. /usr/my.cnf ? What the hell is my.cnf doing in /usr ?

I found it using find / -iname my.cnf -print
