elog() is used to send messages to the front-end, and optionally
ereport() is used to send messages to the front-end, and optionally
terminate the current query being processed. The first parameter is an
elog level of DEBUG (levels 1-5), LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, or
PANIC. NOTICE prints on the user's terminal and the postmaster logs.
INFO prints only to the user's terminal and LOG prints only to the
server logs. (These can be changed from postgresql.conf.) ERROR prints
in both places, and terminates the current query, never returning from
the call. FATAL terminates the backend process. The remaining
parameters of elog are a printf-style set of parameters to print.

elog(ERROR) frees most memory and open file descriptors so you don't
need to clean these up before the call.
