Hmm I suppose that works, but really I was using it as a "can i connect" check. Similar to https://github.com/eficode/wait-for or https://github.com/wait4x/wait4x

It seems weird—unexpected to user—to accept dbname or user and not have a non-zero exit code or something in stderr indicating failure…

Hi Samuel, this behavior is explained in the docs [1]:

So it's essentially just a courtesy to whoever's watching your logs.
