Hi all,

As written in subject, pg_recvlogical does not work properly with
option -I but it should:
$ pg_recvlogical -I 0/0
pg_recvlogical: invalid option -- I
Try "pg_recvlogical --help" for more information.
$ pg_recvlogical --help | grep "\-I"
-I, --startpos=PTR where in an existing slot should the streaming start
Attached patch corrects that, reshuffling at the same time the option
letters parsed with getopt_long in alphabetical order.

Regards,

Michael

Good catch. Apparently only the long argument version ever worked...

Hm. Not a big fan of this in isolation. In the attached patch I've
reordered the options to all be ordered alphabetically, but only inside
the section they are in --help.

What do you think?

That's fine as well. Thanks.
