Hi,
While executing the following command I got:
$ pg_ctl init -D /tmp/foo -o "-N 11"
/home/euler/pg/bin/initdb: invalid option -- N
Try "initdb --help" for more information.
pg_ctl: database system initialization failed
I tried "-N 11" (postgres option) after looking at the manual but the -o
option only accept initdb options so I think there is a documentation bug.
Patch is attached.
While at it, is it worth adding a pg_ctl init example?

Yeah, the init option was squeezed in later with only minimal attention
to documentation. Agree with your idea of treating its -o option as
taking a different kind of argument. Will apply.
