Peter Eisentraut 8137f2c323 Hide most variable-length fields from Form_pg_* structs
Those fields only appear in the structs so that genbki.pl can create
the BKI bootstrap files for the catalogs.  But they are not actually
usable from C.  So hiding them can prevent coding mistakes, saves
stack space, and can help the compiler.

In certain catalogs, the first variable-length field has been kept
visible after manual inspection.  These exceptions are noted in C
comments.

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:

	http://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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
