Is anyone using the oid2name tool?

Otherwise, we might deprecate and eventually remove it.

I use it occasionally (but really dislike it) during testing and debugging, to help decipher what is going on.  It is a chain of information flow from strace to lsof to oid2name.

I could probably use pg_class instead if I could ever remember what the difference was between oid and relfilenode.

Cheers,

Jeff
