Hi,
While working on patch [1], I spotted two small issues in pg_resetwal.
1. The -c option accepts two XIDs. The first is parsed by strtouint32_strict(), but the second is parsed by strtoul().
Thisseems to be an oversight in 636c1914b48, which introduced strtouint32_strict().
2. The help message for the -c option says that “zero means no change”, but this behavior is missing on the current
masterbranch. I checked the git history, and the behavior was lost in 978cf02bb8c, which added separate “given” flags
forcommand-line options.
The fixes for both issues are tiny. See the attached patch for details.
Unfortunately, I reviewed both patches but didn't notice these issues at the time. Both commits were included in PG19,
sothis might be worth back-patching to 19.
