[GENERAL] pg_dump warning format?

[Erik Jones]

Hello, I'm currently working on an automated data archival script  
that will dump an existing archive db, drop it, recreate it from a  
template, and then fill it with any data ready to be archived from  
our production db.  My question here is:  What is the format of the  
warnings and/or errors that pg_dump will spit out on standard error?   
Does redirect_stderr set in the config file affect the pg_dump  
utility?  Basically I need a way for my script to know if it needs to  
abort because there were issues with the dump before it follows  
through with the drop db...
