Hi Jim!
Tests performed on CentOS Linux 7.
I made some further observations and concluded that there will
be more cases where the "address" from \conninfo will differ from
the "Server Address" from \conninfo+. Below is a more detailed example.
The input of "hostaddr" or "host" in the psql call can be any pointing to
"loopback local" and the connection will still be established. For example,
all of these are accepted:
Case (inet):
psql -x --host 0
psql -x --host 0.0.0.0
psql -x hostaddr=0
psql -x hostaddr=0.0.0.0
All these examples will have "Server Address" = 127.0.0.1
Case (inet6):
psql -x --host ::
psql -x --host * (this entry is not accepted)
psql -x --host \*
psql -x --host "*"
psql -x hostaddr=::
psql -x hostaddr=*
All these examples will have "Server Address" = ::1
Thus, the inet_server_addr() function will return 127.0.0.1 or ::1 which in some cases will differ from the "address" from \conninfo.
[postgres@localhost bin]$ ./psql -x hostaddr=0
As demonstrated above, "address" = 0.0.0.0 and "Server Address" = 127.0.0.1 are divergent.
In practice, these IPs are the "same", and the ping from the example proves it.
However, we are concerned here with the psql user, and this may seem confusing to them at
first glance. I would like to propose a change in "address" so that it always returns the same as
"Server Address", that is, to use the inet_server_address() function in "address".
Result:
[postgres@localhost bin]$ ./psql -x hostaddr=0

Your suggestion was well received, and I'will made the adjustment to make
the command description more comprehensive.
Here is version v15 where I sought to correct 'Adress' to make it the same
as 'Server Address'.
Could you perform the same test and validate?
Thank you so much!
