Thank you, andrew, I understand what I did was not right way to specify the port.
And finally i found the way to specify the path of postgresql.conf file
in the manual 18.2.
| If you wish to keep the configuration files elsewhere than the data directory,
| the postgres -D command-line option or PGDATA environment variable must point
| to the directory containing the configuration files, and the data_directory
| parameter must be set in postgresql.conf (or on the command line) to show
| where the data directory is actually located.
This is very complicated and not intuitive way but I understand in this case
pg_ctl.c works well.
Regards.
