Today "pg_controldata --help" gives this usage info:
| Usage:
| pg_controldata [OPTION]
|
| Options:
| DATADIR show cluster control information for DATADIR
| --help show this help, then exit
| --version output version information, then exit
|
| If no data directory is specified, the environment variable PGDATA
| is used.
I think that the DATADIR part being treated as an option is confusing and
would like to change it to:
| Usage:
| pg_controldata [OPTION] [DATADIR]
|
| Options:
| --help show this help, then exit
| --version output version information, then exit
|
| If no data directory (DATADIR) is specified, the environment variable
| PGDATA is used.
Any opinions?
The patch in itself is trivial, but since this is -patches, here it is:
