Because it is not possible to outsource the scan of pg_wal/summaries/ to a different role, no? On HEAD, one would require a full access to the data folder, as pg_ls_waldir() does not recurse. Perhaps, rather than introducing a new function, we should just extend pg_ls_dir_files() so as it can optionally recurse, then use this option in the existing pg_ls_waldir() to show stats for pg_wal/ and pg_wal/summary/? You'd optinally need to print the relative path of the file in the output of the function, meaning that any summary file in should be shown as summaries/blah.summary. Just an idea for the bucket of ideas. This would be unconsistent with the existing pg_ls_archive_statusdir(), though, so using a new function may be just better and simpler. -- Michael
