Tom Lane 5f1148224b Provide a variant of simple_prompt() that can be interrupted by ^C.
Up to now, you couldn't escape out of psql's \password command
by typing control-C (or other local spelling of SIGINT).  This
is pretty user-unfriendly, so improve it.  To do so, we have to
modify the functions provided by pg_get_line.c; but we don't
want to mess with psql's SIGINT handler setup, so provide an
API that lets that handler cause the cancel to occur.

This relies on the assumption that we won't do any major harm by
longjmp'ing out of fgets().  While that's obviously a little shaky,
we've long had the same assumption in the main input loop, and few
issues have been reported.

psql has some other simple_prompt() calls that could usefully
be improved the same way; for now, just deal with \password.

Nathan Bossart, minor tweaks by me

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
