I suggest to alter the
pg_restore --help output from ----------------------------------------- Usage: pg_restore [OPTION]... [FILE]
General options: -d, --dbname=NAME output database name -f, --file=FILENAME output file name ----------------------------------------------- to:
---------------------------------------------- Usage: pg_restore [OPTION]... [FILE]
General options:
-d, --dbname=NAME output database name (to restore into a psql database)
-f, --file=FILENAME output file name (to convert custom/tar to plain SQL)
-F, --format=c|t specify backup file format (custom or tar, plain text is not possible) ----------------------------------------------
Reasons:
a) pg_restore may sometimes be used in a "stressed state of mind" where additional information is essential
b) within win32 there is no man pg_restore possible
c) Not me allown did need some time to understand WHY an "output file name" makes sense for a resore-utility.
Please find the patch in the upcomming.
