You are using psql, the command-line interface to PostgreSQL.
Type \? for help.
I think we wanted to have more information in 'help', not less. Making
it just repeat the startup info is not very helpful.
I thought about that, but aren't we just repeating the top of \?. Is
that helpful? Should we just display \?.
I am a little confused here. The whole point of this patch is to remove
all extraneous information from the startup banner and push it to a
"help" screen. Thus type help for help.
If you type help you get your help options.
I know we decided not to do that, but I am trying to figure out what the
goal if 'help' is? To display the most frequently-used help commands?
Aren't they at the top of \?.
The purpose of help is to provide what help options there are available
to those who need them.
