 *
 * walsender.c
 *
 * The WAL sender process (walsender) is new as of Postgres 9.0. It takes
 * care of sending XLOG from the primary server to a single recipient.
 * (Note that there can be more than one walsender process concurrently.)
 * It is started by the postmaster when the walreceiver of a standby server
 * connects to the primary server and requests XLOG streaming replication.
 *
 * A walsender is similar to a regular backend, ie. there is a one-to-one
 * relationship between a connection and a walsender process, but instead
 * of processing SQL queries, it understands a small set of special
 * replication-mode commands. The START_REPLICATION command begins streaming
 * WAL to the client. While streaming, the walsender keeps reading XLOG
 * records from the disk and sends them to the standby server over the
 * COPY protocol, until the either side ends the replication by exiting COPY
 * mode (or until the connection is closed).
 *
 * Normal termination is by SIGTERM, which instructs the walsender to
 * close the connection and exit(0) at next convenient moment. Emergency
 * termination is by SIGQUIT; like any backend, the walsender will simply
 * abort and exit on SIGQUIT. A close of the connection and a FATAL error
 * are treated as not a crash but approximately normal termination;
 * the walsender will exit quickly without sending any more XLOG records.
 *
 * If the server is shut down, postmaster sends us SIGUSR2 after all
 * regular backends have exited and the shutdown checkpoint has been written.
 * This instructs walsender to send any outstanding WAL, including the
 * shutdown checkpoint record, wait for it to be replicated to the standby,
 * and then exit.
