The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 14912
Logged by: Mark Wood[...]
That is true *unless* using -l / --list. The code shows that this option
defaults to 'postgresql' instead, overriding the libpq defaulting.
It actually defaults to "postgres"
[...]
The actual behavior may be reasonable, but if so it should be documented as
an exception for the --list function.
I can see an argument for either default, but given that this invocation has never defaulted to the user's database I cannot see changing it.
I agree this should be considered a doc bug and back-patched. Possible verbiage for master below and attached.
Changing the "Usage" section to point out this exception to the rule seems undesirable.
