Hi All,
While looking at the help message of pg_basebackup, I got a bit confused by
it. It looks something like this:
Connection options:
-d, --dbname=CONNSTR connection string
So the long option says "--dbname" which is not really what its expecting.
The same issue also applies to pg_receivexlog and pg_dumpall. I wonder if
this is a well thought out user API or just an oversight when we chose to
use "-d" to pass connection string to the command, In fact, I would have
avoided using either -d or --dbname because they are used very frequently
in other commands to mean something else.
Thanks,
Pavan
