Thread: Documentation fix for pg_recvlogical's --create mode

Hi all,

In the documentation of pg_recvlogical here
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/app-pgrecvlogical.html),
there is the following sentence:
"Create a new logical replication slot with the name specified in
--slot, using the output plugin --plugin, then exit."
Actually that's not completely true, we can create a replication slot
and then start streaming by combining --start and --create. Process
will only exit if --start is not used. Patch is attached.
Regards,

Committed. Thanks. And thannks Robert for the reminder, I'd indeed have
missed this...
