The steps are severely under-documented in pgbench --help output. Grepping that output I could not find any explanation of these steps, so I dug through the code and found them in runInitSteps(). Just as I was thinking of writing a patch to remedy that, just to be sure, I checked online docs and sure enough, they are well-documented under pgbench [1]. I think at least a pointer to the the pgbench docs should be mentioned in the pgbench --help output; an average user may not rush to read the code to find the explanation, but a hint to where to find more details about what the letters in --init-steps mean, would save them a lot of time.
