But if you use the <option>-N</> command line switch, then newline does
not terminate command entry. The backend will read stdin until EOF, then
not terminate command entry. The backend will read the standard input
until the end-of-file (EOF) marker, then
process the input as a single query string. Backslash-newline is not
treated specially in this case.

The standalone backend does not have readline input processing
