/dev/tty, but it isn't a device file and doesn't work as expected.
This fixes a known bug where psql does not prompt for a password on some
Win32 systems.
Backpatch to 8.1.X.

comments on cluster global objects like databases, tablespaces, and
roles.
It touches a lot of places, but not much in the way of big changes. The
only design decision I made was to duplicate the query and manipulation
functions rather than to try and have them handle both shared and local
comments. I believe this is simpler for the code and not an issue for
callers because they know what type of object they are dealing with.
This has resulted in a shobj_description function analagous to
obj_description and backend functions [Create/Delete]SharedComments
mirroring the existing [Create/Delete]Comments functions.
pg_shdescription.h goes into src/include/catalog/

(optionally) to a new host and port without exiting psql. This
eliminates, IMHO, a surprise in that you can now connect to PostgreSQL
on a differnt machine from the one where you started your session. This
should help people who use psql as an administrative tool.

other stuff; change \du and \dg to be role-aware (Stefan Kaltenbrunner).
Also make tab completion fetch the list of GUC variables from pg_settings
instead of having a hard-wired copy of the list (Tom Lane).
mode to only affect the presentation of normal query results, not the
output of psql slash commands. Documentation updated. I also made
some unrelated minor psql cleanup. Per suggestion from Stuart Cooper.
psql. i.e. "\pset format troff-ms". The patch also corrects some
problems with the "latex" format, notably defining an extra column in
the output table, and correcting some alignment issues; it also
changes the output to match the border setting as documented in the
manual page and as shown with the "aligned" format.
The troff-ms output is mostly identical to the latex output allowing
for the differences between the two typesetters.
The output should be saved in a file and piped as follows:
cat file | tbl | troff -T ps -ms > file.ps
or
tbl file | troff -T ps -ms > file.ps
Because it contains tabs, you'll need to redirect psql output or use
"script", rather than pasting from a terminal window, due to the tabs
which can be replaced with spaces.

after an unknown or failed psql backslash command, and also while
discarding "extra" arguments of a putatively valid backslash command.
In the case of an unknown/failed command, make sure we discard the
whole rest of the line, rather than trying to resume at the next
backslash. Per discussion with Thomer Gil.
There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules
need work, and so does the documentation. Also someone should think about
COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE. Also initlocation is
dead, it just doesn't know it yet.

conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.
