Or is the question about a COPY kicked off from server-side
C code (following up a question about SPI)?

If the idea is to kick off a COPY that reads from the connected
client's STDIN, the wire protocol doesn't really have a way to
work that out with the client, as Tom pointed out.

Or is the goal for some server-side code to quickly populate
a table from some file that's readable on the server and has
the same format that COPY FROM expects?
