Command line argument for Server

От

Hi,

I want to set or reset a global flag.
1) What currently I'm thinking is, I'll declare that global flag in postgres.h
2) I'll set that depending on my custom flag given at server startup
3) I encountered function getopt but I couldn't understand it

So my question is how should I process command line argument for server?
Or is there any another way to do so using postgresql.conf?

Thank you,
Swapnil

Forget about inventing your own flag mechanism.  Create a new GUC
parameter instead: there is lots and lots of existing infrastructure
you won't have to reinvent.
