pg_rewind generates and executes internally up to two commands to work on the target cluster, depending on the options given by its caller: - postgres -C to retrieve the value of restore_command, when using -c/--restore-target-wal. - postgres --single to enforce recovery once and get the target cluster in a clean shutdown state. Both commands have been applying incorrect quoting rules, which could lead to failures when for example using a target data directory with unexpected characters like CRLFs. Those commands are now generated with PQExpBuffer, making use of string_utils.h to quote those commands as they should. We may extend those commands in the future with more options, so this makes any upcoming additions easier. This is arguably a bug fix, but nobody has complained about the existing code being a problem either, so no backpatch is done. Extracted from a larger patch by the same author.

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.
