-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The Postgres backend server can be executed directly from the user shell.
-This should be done only while debugging by the DBA, and should not be
-done while other Postgres backends are being managed by a
-.IR postmaster
-on this set of databases.
-.PP
-The optional argument
-.IR dbname
-specifies the name of the database to be accessed.
-.IR Dbname
-defaults to the value of the
-.SM USER
-environment variable.
-.PP
-The 
-.IR postgres
-server understands the following command-line options:
-.TP 5n
-.BR "-B" " n_buffers"
-If the backend is running under the 
-.IR postmaster ,
-.IR "n_buffers"
-is the number of shared-memory buffers that the
-.IR "postmaster"
-has allocated for the backend server processes that it starts.  If the
-backend is running standalone, this specifies the number of buffers to
-allocate.  This value defaults to 64.
-.TP
-.BR "-E"
-Echo all queries.
-.TP
-.BR "-F"
-Disbable automatic fsync() call after each transaction.
-This option improves performance, but an operating system crash
-while a transaction is in progress will probably cause data loss.
-.TP
-.BR "-P" " filedes"
-.IR "filedes"
-specifies the file descriptor that corresponds to the socket (port) on
-which to communicate to the frontend process.  This option is 
-.BR not
-useful for interactive use.
-.TP
-.BR "-Q"
-Specifies \*(lqquiet\*(rq mode.
-.TP
-.BR "-d" " debug_level"
-Turns on debugging at the numeric level
-.IR "debug_level" .
-Turning on debugging will cause query parse trees and query plans to
-be displayed.
-.TP
-.BR "-o" " output_file"
-Sends all debugging and error output to 
-.IR output_file .
-If the backend is running under the 
-.IR postmaster ,
-error messages are still sent to the frontend process as well as to
-.IR output_file ,
-but debugging output is sent to the controlling tty of the
-.IR postmaster
-(since only one file descriptor can be sent to an actual file).
-.TP
-.BR "-s"
-Print time information and other statistics at the end of each query.
-This is useful for benchmarking or for use in tuning the number of
-buffers.
-.SH "DEPRECATED COMMAND OPTIONS"
-There are several other options that may be specified, used mainly
-for debugging purposes.  These are listed here only for the use by
-Postgres system developers.
-.BR "Use of any of these options is highly discouraged" .
-Furthermore, any of these options may disappear or change at any time.
-.TP
-.BR "-A" "n|r|b|Q\fIn\fP|X\fIn\fP"
-.IP
-This option generates a tremendous amount of output.
-.TP
-.BR "-L"
-Turns off the locking system.
-.TP
-.BR "-N"
-Disables use of newline as a query delimiter.
-.TP
-.BR "-S"
-Indicates that the transaction system can run with the assumption of
-stable main memory, thereby avoiding the necessary flushing of data
-and log pages to disk at the end of each transaction system.  This is
-only used for performance comparisons for stable vs. non-stable
-storage.  Do not use this in other cases, as recovery after a system
-crash may be impossible when this option is specified in the absence
-of stable main memory.
-.TP
-.BR "-b"
-Enables generation of bushy query plan trees (as opposed to left-deep
-query plans trees).  These query plans are not intended for actual
-execution; in addition, this flag often causes Postgres to run out of
-memory.
-.TP
-.BR "-f"
-Forbids the use of particular scan and join methods:
-.IR s " and " i
-disable sequential and index scans respectively, while
-.IR n ", " m " and " h
-disable nested-loop, merge and hash joins respectively.
-This is another feature that may not necessarily produce executable
-plans.
-.TP
-.BR "-p"
-Indicates to the backend server that it has been started by a 
-.IR postmaster
-and make different assumptions about buffer pool management, file
-descriptors, etc.
-.TP
-.BR "-t" "pa[rser]|pl[anner]|e[xecutor]"
-Print timing statistics for each query relating to each of the major
-system modules.  This option cannot be used with
-.BR "-s" .
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
-ipcclean(1),
-psql(1), 
-postmaster(1).
-.SH "DIAGNOSTICS"
-Of the nigh-infinite number of error messages you may see when you
-execute the backend server directly, the most common will probably be:
-.TP
-.BR "semget: No space left on device"
-If you see this message, you should run the
-.IR ipcclean
-command.  After doing this, try starting
-.IR postgres
-again.  If this still doesn't work, you probably need to configure
-your kernel for shared memory and semaphores as described in the
-installation notes.
