Short Description
Doucumentation bug in libpq > Asynchronous Query Processing

Long Description
In the online docs:

http://postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.0/postgres/libpq-chapter22577.htm

there is a problem with documentation regarding the function PQsetnonblocking. The documentation defines the function as:

int PQsetnonblocking(PGconn *conn)

While in libpq-fe.h (installed from rpm postgresql-devel-7.0.3-2) it is defined as:

int PQsetnonblocking(PGconn *conn, int arg)

Which has an extra argument arg. I guessed that this argument was to be TRUE or FALSE, to set or unset blocking, and this seems to work, however there is no mention of the argument in the docs.

Regards

Phil
