In libpq.sgml following is stated:
Before <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> protocol 3.0, it was necessary
for the application to explicitly send the two characters
<literal>\.</literal> as a final line to indicate to the server that it had
finished sending <command>COPY</command> data. While this still works, it is deprecated and the
special meaning of <literal>\.</literal> can be expected to be removed in a
future release. It is sufficient to call <function>PQendcopy</function> after
having sent the actual data.
I think this should be mentioned in protocol.sgml as well. Developers
who wish to develop programs that understands frontend/backend
protocol should be able to focus on protocol.sgml. Attached is a patch
for this.
Best regards,
