This could be completely non-existent field in the current
implementation of PostgreSQL. I think the fact is not very clear from
the description. It would be nice the description is something like:
Int16[C]
The parameter format codes. Each must presently be zero (text) or one
(binary).
This field does not exist if the number of prameter values is 0.
This is already explicitly said in the description of the previous field:
"The number of parameter format codes that follow (denoted C below).
This can be zero to indicate that there are no parameters or that the
parameters all use the default format (text); or one, in which case the
specified format code is applied to all parameters; or it can equal the
actual number of parameters."
Also the documentation for the array notation explains this: "An array
of k n-bit integers, each in network byte order. The array length k is
always determined by an earlier field in the message. Eg. Int16[M].".
This part seems clear enough to me, and I don't think repeating that
*three times* is necessary. We already say it twice.
