  Stop using the man pages, then. I don't believe that they have been
  maintained for at least 2 years. I've never even heard of the above
  version of running postmaster -- it probably dates back to version
6.0.

  Use the interactive online docs, or the docs in the pgsql/docs folder.
  For your particular problem, see:
