Tom Lane 3e51b278db Add "-c name=value" switch to initdb.
This option, or its long form --set, sets the GUC "name" to "value".
The setting applies in the bootstrap and standalone servers run by
initdb, and is also written into the generated postgresql.conf.

This can save an extra editing step when creating a new cluster,
but the real use-case is for coping with situations where the
bootstrap server fails to start due to environmental issues;
for example, if it's necessary to force huge_pages to off.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
