     <filename>pg_control</> and then exit without modifying anything.
     This is mainly a debugging tool, but can be useful as a sanity check
     before allowing <command>pg_resetxlog</command> to proceed for real.
+    Also if any of the other parameter given along with -n, then it will print values
+    in two sections. In first section it will print all original values and in next section
+    all values which will be on reset.
