From d97ef756afcadeeb040c3f11e764d6a7179d441e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Bossart Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2024 11:35:10 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Fix documentation for wal_summary_keep_time. The documentation for this parameter lists its type as boolean, but it is actually an integer. Furthermore, there is no mention of how the value is interpreted when specified without units. This commit fixes these oversights in commit 174c480508.
