Few comments:
+               str = fgets(*lineptr + total_chars,
+                                       *n - total_chars,
+                                       fp);
+
+               if (ferror(fp))
+                       return -1;

Should we include any error message in the above case.

+               else
+                       break;
+       }
+
+       if (ferror(fp))
+               return -1;

Similar to above.

+                       /* check, if there is good enough space for
next content */
+                       if (*n - total_chars < 2)
+                       {
+                               *n += 1024;
+                               *lineptr = pg_realloc(*lineptr, *n);
+                       }
We could use a macro in place of 1024.

+                                               if (objecttype == 't')
+                                               {
+                                                       if (is_include)
+                                                       {
+
simple_string_list_append(&table_include_patterns,
+
                                           objectname);

dopt.include_everything = false;
+                                                       }
+                                                       else

simple_string_list_append(&table_exclude_patterns,
+
                                           objectname);
+                                               }
+                                               else if (objecttype == 'n')
+                                               {
+                                                       if (is_include)

simple_string_list_append(&schema_include_patterns,

                                           objectname);

dopt.include_everything = false;
+                                                       }
+                                                       else
+
simple_string_list_append(&schema_exclude_patterns,
+
                                           objectname);
+                                               }
Some of the above code is repetitive in above, can the common code be
made into a macro and called?

        printf(_("  --extra-float-digits=NUM     override default
setting for extra_float_digits\n"));
+       printf(_("  --filter=FILENAME            read object name
filter expressions from file\n"));
        printf(_("  --if-exists                  use IF EXISTS when
dropping objects\n"));
Can this be changed to dump objects and data based on the filter
expressions from the filter file.
