1. Doucumentation bug in libpq > Asynchronous Query Processing

   PostgreSQL Bugs List <pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org> — 2001-03-16T04:57:22Z

   Philip (philip.howell@cit.act.edu.au) reports a bug with a severity of 3
   The lower the number the more severe it is.
   
   Short Description
   Doucumentation bug in libpq > Asynchronous Query Processing
   
   Long Description
   In the online docs:
   
   http://postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.0/postgres/libpq-chapter22577.htm 
   
   there is a problem with documentation regarding the function PQsetnonblocking.  The documentation defines the function as:
   
     int PQsetnonblocking(PGconn *conn)
   
   While in libpq-fe.h (installed from rpm postgresql-devel-7.0.3-2) it is defined as:
   
     int PQsetnonblocking(PGconn *conn, int arg)
   
   Which has an extra argument arg.  I guessed that this argument was to be TRUE or FALSE, to set or unset blocking, and this seems to work, however there is no mention of the argument in the docs.
   
   Regards

   This is fixed in the current docs:
   
   #$ grep PQsetnonblocking *.sgml
   libpq.sgml:   <function>PQsetnonblocking</function> had been called.
   libpq.sgml:address that issue, the function
   <function>PQsetnonblocking</function>
   libpq.sgml:Old applications can neglect to use
   <function>PQsetnonblocking</function>
   libpq.sgml:<function>PQsetnonblocking</function> to achieve a completely
   non-blocking
   libpq.sgml:    <function>PQsetnonblocking</function> Sets the
   nonblocking status of the
   libpq.sgml:int PQsetnonblocking(PGconn *conn, int arg)
   libpq.sgml:    <function>PQsetnonblocking</function> functionality in
   the near future.
   libpq.sgml:<function>PQsetnonblocking</function> have a need for this.
   libpq.sgml:Non-blocking connections (that have used
   <function>PQsetnonblocking</function>)
