Extend Cluster.pm's background_psql() to be able to start asynchronously

michaelpq · michaelpq · commit ba08edb06545 · 2024-11-06T15:31:14.000+09:00
This commit extends the constructor routine of BackgroundPsql.pm with a new "wait" parameter. If set to 0, the routine returns without waiting for psql to start, ready to consume input. background_psql() in Cluster.pm gains the same "wait" parameter. The default behavior is still to wait for psql to start. It becomes now possible to not wait, giving to TAP scripts the possibility to perform actions between a BackgroundPsql startup and its wait_connect() call.

 an interactive or background session and starts it. If C<interactive> is
 true then a PTY will be attached. C<psql_params> should contain the full
