hi according to docs -F parameter given to psql is equivalent to \f or \pset fieldset in psql itself. this is usually true, but if i'll try to use "tab" as field separator, i cannot enter it like this: psql -c "something" -A -t -F '\t' it just returns fields separated by literally '\t', and not by tab-space character. yet, entering the same in psql as \f '\t' works great. i belive this is just simple ommision in argument parsing, but i belive it should be corrected to maintain uniform way of communication with user.
