Subject: pgsql: Document deprecated --wal-directory option for pg_verifybackup
Date: Wed, 06 May 2026 08:53:03 +0000
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

Document deprecated --wal-directory option for pg_verifybackup

Commit b3cf461b3cf renamed --wal-directory to --wal-path but retained
the former as a silent alias.  Per project policy, all options,
including deprecated ones, should be documented to assist users
transitioning between versions.

This patch restores --wal-directory to the documentation and --help
output.
