Example 31-2. libpq Example Program 2

I need notifications to a C application on inserts to a table. The
notification funcion is listed below. My program and "Example 31-2. libpq
Example Program 2" receive the notification, but the payload message in
"PGnotify *notify->extra" is invalid.

The example code is located here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-example.html

I modified the code to include the "extra" member in the following
statement:

fprintf(stderr,
"ASYNC NOTIFY of '%s' received from backend PID %d:
%s\n",
notify->relname, notify->be_pid, *notify->extra*);

Both the example and my application core on an invalid address for "extra".
Using psql with LISTEN works correctly. My application works as expected
except for the payload message. I was unable to locate any example of how
to retrieve the payload in C. The "extra" member is a char*.
