From ea499f3d28c657a044f0a948e6b77ac56f28a8f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Gustafsson Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2021 13:38:01 +0200 Subject: Clarify initdb --sync-only help message and docs The initdb help message for --sync-only was a bit terse, and not really self-explanatory. Make it clearer that initdb --sync-only will exit after syncing, and expand the docs with a note on when the option can be useful. Also align the help output with others that exit immediately.
