Thread: Omission of "(or C)" in psql's "pset title" header
The other pset keywords with black-slash aliases include a "(or <letter>)" paren after the keyword. "title" does not (should be "C")

Attached is a patch to implement this, including a doc patch.
Wasn't expecting a code change - just the docs. The docs already said the "\C [ title ]" is a valid meta-command...
Did you maybe end up making a command line "-C 'title'" valid instead?

I thought you were looking for \pset C to be documented, and to work: test=> \pset C test Title is "test". That does not work in the current sources, so I had to add it. This is similar to how "\pset t" works as an alias for "\pset tuples_only": test=> \pset t Tuples only is on. When our docs say: <term><literal>tuples_only</literal> (or <literal>t</literal>)</term> it is not talking about using \t, but rather "\pset t" --- perhaps that is where the confusion is coming from.

Obviously I am not understanding you. I thought you were looking for
\pset C to be documented, and to work:
test=> \pset C test
Title is "test".
That does not work in the current sources, so I had to add it. This is
similar to how "\pset t" works as an alias for "\pset tuples_only":
test=> \pset t
Tuples only is on.
When our docs say:
<term><literal>tuples_only</literal> (or <literal>t</literal>)</term>
it is not talking about using \t, but rather "\pset t" --- perhaps that
is where the confusion is coming from. (Yeah, I know it is kind of
odd.)
Yes, I read that as "\pset tuples_only" and "\t" are alternate forms of the same thing
and thought that "\pset title" and "\C" should be documented similarly. Making "\pset C <label>" work doesn't seem like an improvement.

Well, making \pset C is at least consistent. We can't say "or C" without it. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + Everyone has their own god. +

Agreed.
