The stanza in ECPGconnect() that intended to allow specification of a Unix socket directory path in place of a port has never executed since it was committed, nearly two decades ago; the preceding strrchr() already found the last colon so there cannot be another one. The lack of complaints about that is doubtless related to the fact that no user-facing documentation suggested it was possible. Rather than try to fix that up, let's just remove the unreachable code, and instead document the way that does work to write a socket directory path, namely specifying it as a "host" option. In support of that, make another pass at clarifying the syntax documentation for ECPG connection targets, particularly documenting which things are parsed as identifiers and where to use double quotes. Rearrange some things that seemed poorly ordered, and fix a couple of minor doc errors.

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/.
