Several commands internally assemble command lines to call other commands. This includes initdb, pg_dumpall, and pg_regress. (Also pg_ctl, but that is different enough that I didn't consider it here.) This has all evolved a bit organically, with fixed-size buffers, and various optional command-line arguments being injected with confusing-looking code, and the spacing between options handled in inconsistent ways. Clean all this up a bit to look clearer and be more easily extensible with new arguments and options. We start each command with printfPQExpBuffer(), and then append arguments as necessary with appendPQExpBuffer(). Also standardize on using initPQExpBuffer() over createPQExpBuffer() where possible. pg_regress uses StringInfo instead of PQExpBuffer, but many of the same ideas apply.

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/.
