"Report" seems entirely the wrong verb there.

IMO this would be simpler and more readable if you got rid of the LISTEN_STR
#define and just included -c listen_addresses='' in the snprintf format
string.  The comment for the whole thing should be something like
"If we have a socket directory to use, command the postmaster to use it,
and disable TCP/IP connections altogether".
