 * pg_standby.c
 *
 * Production-ready example of how to create a Warm Standby
 * database server using continuous archiving as a
 * replication mechanism
 *
 * We separate the parameters for archive and nextWALfile
 * so that we can check the archive exists, even if the
 * WAL file doesn't (yet).
 *
 * This program will be executed once in full for each file
 * requested by the warm standby server.
 *
 * It is designed to cater to a variety of needs, as well
 * providing a customizable section.

 * resulting in zero data loss. But, it might take a long time to finish
 * recovery if there's a lot of unapplied WAL.
 *
 * On the other hand, if the trigger file contains the word "fast", the
 * recovery is finished immediately even if unapplied WAL files remain. Any
 * transactions in the unapplied WAL files are lost.
 *
 * An empty trigger file performs smart failover. SIGUSR or SIGINT triggers
 * fast failover. A timeout causes fast failover (smart failover would have
 * the same effect, since if the timeout is reached there is no unapplied WAL).
