Per the discussion earlier re: sockets and psql
Synopsis: psql --help now returns:
[ snip ]
Connection options:
-h [ HOSTNAME | DIR ] specify database server host or location of
socket ($PGHOST, default: local socket)
-p PORT specify database server port ($PGPORT,
default: 5432)
-U NAME specify database user name ($PGUSER,
default: root)
-W prompt for password (should happen
automatically)
Nobody complained when I asked if it was too verbose, and I think it
contributes to the helpfulness of the help. Additionally, the psql(1)
page and the psql-ref.sgml document already explain this behaviour.
I spoke with Dennis Bjorklund about this on IRC, he suggested that this
was easier for the translators, and is in the same style as pg_dump.c
(why is there no src/bin/pg_dump/help.c?).
thanks,
alex
