DESCRIPTION

       pg_receivexlog to receive WAL files from Postgres servers via the streaming protocol.

              Name of the server in barman node.

       --create-slot
              Create the physical replication slot configured with the slot_name configuration parameter.

       --drop-slot
              Drop the physical replication slot configured with the slot_name configuration parameter.

       -h / --help
              Show a help message and exit. Provides information about command usage.

       --reset
              Reset the status of receive-wal, restarting the streaming from the current WAL file of the server.

       --stop Stop the process for the server.

       WARNING:
          The --stop option for the barman receive-wal command will be obsoleted  in  a  future  release.  Users
          should  favor  using  the  terminate-process  command  instead,  which is the new way of handling this
          feature.
