Thread: psql error in \? output on \w line

psql error in \? output on \w line

From
Zach Irmen
Date:
As far as I can tell, the file argument for \w is required;
this contradicts what \? says for it (namely that it's optional).
A patch follows to fix this if it really is an error and not my
misunderstanding.
