Tom Lane 8e3c58e6e4 Refactor pg_get_line() to expose an alternative StringInfo-based API. 
Letting the caller provide a StringInfo to read into is helpful when
the caller needs to merge lines or otherwise modify the data after
it's been read.  Notably, now the code added by commit 8f8154a50
can use pg_get_line_append() instead of having its own copy of that
logic.  A follow-on commit will also make use of this.

Also, since StringInfo buffers are a minimum of 1KB long, blindly
using pg_get_line() in a loop can eat a lot more memory than one would
expect.  I discovered for instance that commit e0f05cd5b caused initdb
to consume circa 10MB to read postgres.bki, even though that's under
1MB worth of data.  A less memory-hungry alternative is to re-use the
same StringInfo for all lines and pg_strdup the results.

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/.
