But it is a "sect1" in libpq. It should be a "sect1" somewhere that
makes more sense.
Right now it appears here:Table of Contents1. libpq - C Library 1.1. Introduction 1.2. Database Connection
Functions 1.3. Command Execution Functions 1.4. Asynchronous Query Processing 1.5. The Fast-Path Interface
1.6.Asynchronous Notification 1.7. Functions Associated with the COPY Command 1.8. libpq Tracing Functions
1.9.libpq Control Functions 1.10. Environment Variables ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 1.11. Files 1.12.
ThreadingBehavior 1.13. Building Libpq Programs 1.14. Example Programs
It doesn't belong in libpq, and it doesn't belong in the Programmer's
Guide.
