Looks fine at:

        http://www.ca.postgresql.org/devel-corner/docs/postgres/app-createdb.html

Do you see the problem there?

Agreed.

> pg_restore.1
> 
>    In the NAME entry, there is a missing space in "created bypg_dump".

I don't see that problem here.

> alter_group.l
> 
>    In the NAME entry, the comma should be a semi-colon: "group; remove".

Agreed.

> fetch.l
> 
>    In the NAME entry, there should be a comma: "rows, using".

I don't agree on the use of the comma here.

Patch attached and applied.
