Peter Eisentraut cccdbc5d95 Clean up command argument assembly
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/.
