Thread: Is psql command line interface broken on HEAD?

When I try run psql with a option on HEAD I get following message:

-bash-3.2$ /var/tmp/pg84_upg/bin/psql template1 -t
psql: FATAL:  role "-t" does not exist

when I change a order to

var/tmp/pg84_upg/bin/psql -t template1

then everything is OK.

Does it intention or it is a bug? Current behavior correspond with psql help but 
It works fine on 8.1, 8.2 (8.3 not tested).
    Thanks Zdenek

That has never been considered supported.  Some versions of getopt,
on some platforms, will rearrange the order of words on the command
line in order to make it "work" (for small values of "work" IMHO).
