 *
 * walsender.c
 *
 * The WAL sender process (walsender) is new as of Postgres 9.0. It takes
 * care of sending XLOG from the primary server to a single recipient.
 * (Note that there can be more than one walsender process concurrently.)
 * It is started by the postmaster when the walreceiver of a standby server
 * connects to the primary server and requests XLOG streaming replication.
 * It attempts to keep reading XLOG records from the disk and sending them
 * to the standby server, as long as the connection is alive (i.e., like
 * any backend, there is a one-to-one relationship between a connection
 * and a walsender process).
 *
 * Normal termination is by SIGTERM, which instructs the walsender to
 * close the connection and exit(0) at next convenient moment. Emergency
 * termination is by SIGQUIT; like any backend, the walsender will simply
 * abort and exit on SIGQUIT. A close of the connection and a FATAL error
 * are treated as not a crash but approximately normal termination;
 * the walsender will exit quickly without sending any more XLOG records.
 *
 * If the server is shut down, postmaster sends us SIGUSR2 after all
 * regular backends have exited and the shutdown checkpoint has been written.
 * This instruct walsender to send any outstanding WAL, including the
 * shutdown checkpoint record, and then exit.
