Hello,

Currently, we are developing some tool for PostgreSQL.  To determine the functional specification, I would like to ask
PostgreSQLusers about the necessity of support for the -U option of initdb. 

In what situations do you use -U option of initdb?  Is it essential for what reason?

I'm not sure whether there are any situations where the DBAs need to use different username/password pairs for the OS
userwho starts/stops the database server, and the database superuser.
