Peter Eisentraut suggests that pg_validatebackup should be called
pg_verifybackup, with corresponding terminology changes throughout the
code and documentation.
Here's a patch for that. I'd like to commit this quickly or abandon in
quickly, because large renaming patches like this are a pain to
maintain. I believe that there was a mild consensus in favor of this
on that thread, so I plan to go forward unless somebody shows up
pretty quickly to object.
+1, let's get it done.
I'm not sure that Peter suggested verify was the correct name, he just
pointed out that verify and validate are not necessarily the same thing
(and that we should be consistent in the docs one way or the other).
It'd be nice if Peter (now CC'd) commented since he's the one who
brought it up.
Having said that, I'm +1 on verify.
