Command line argument for Server
Hi,
I want to set or reset a global flag.
1) What currently I'm thinking is, I'll declare that global flag in
*postgres.h*
2) I'll set that depending on my custom flag given at server startup
3) I encountered function *getopt* but I couldn't understand it
So my question is how should I process command line argument for server?
Or is there any another way to do so using *postgresql.conf*?
Thank you,
Swapnil

Forget about inventing your own flag mechanism. Create a new GUC
parameter instead: there is lots and lots of existing infrastructure
you won't have to reinvent.
