pg_dumpall acquires a new -F/--format option, with the same meanings as pg_dump. The default is p, meaning plain text. For any other value, a directory is created containing two files, globals.data and map.dat. The first contains SQL for restoring the global data, and the second contains a map from oids to database names. It will also contain a subdirectory called databases, inside which it will create archives in the specified format, named using the database oids. In these casess the -f argument is required. If pg_restore encounters a directory containing globals.dat, and no toc.dat, it restores the global settings and then restores each database. pg_restore acquires two new options: -g/--globals-only which suppresses restoration of any databases, and --exclude-database which inhibits restoration of particualr database(s) in the same way the same option works in pg_dumpall.
