Example for postgres version 1.*:
% initdb
Example for postgres version 2.0:(to be released in several months)
% initdb -d /usr/lib/postgres_data -u postgres
This example creates the files for the database system in the directory
/usr/lib/postgres_data and makes user "postgres" the Postgres superuser
for the new database system.
By default, the user issuing the initdb command becomes the Postgres
superuser, and only the unix superuser can specify any other user as the
Postgres superuser.
