* contrib/pg_standby/pg_standby.c
*
*
* pg_standby.c
*
* Production-ready example of how to create a Warm Standby
* database server using continuous archiving as a
* replication mechanism
*
* We separate the parameters for archive and nextWALfile
* so that we can check the archive exists, even if the
* WAL file doesn't (yet).
*
* This program will be executed once in full for each file
* requested by the warm standby server.
*
* It is designed to cater to a variety of needs, as well
* providing a customizable section.
*
* Original author: Simon Riggs simon@2ndquadrant.com

*
* On the other hand, if the trigger file contains the word "fast", the
* recovery is finished immediately even if unapplied WAL files remain. Any
