Re: finding file names

At the moment I am using an old PG version on my machine. and it shows all
the file names by their real name under :
/usr/local/psql/data/base/mydatabasename/

Having pgdump or copy commands, why one might need to know the relation
between the numbers and the names at all? Data base recovery or data backup
process or... ?
