+ <code class="filename">basebackup_to_shell</code> adds a custom basebackup target
+ called <code class="literal">shell</code>. This makes it possible to run
+ <code class="command">pg_basebackup --target=shell</code> or, depending on how this
+ module is configured,
+ <code class="command">pg_basebackup --target=shell:<em class="replaceable"><code>DETAIL_STRING</code></em></code>,
+ and cause a server command chosen by the server administrator to be executed
+ for each tar archive generated by the backup process. The command will receive
+ the contents of the archive via standard input.
+ </p><p>
+ This module is primarily intended as an example of how to create a new
+ backup targets via an extension module, but in some scenarios it may be
+ useful for its own sake.
+ In order to function, this module must be loaded via
+ <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-client.html#GUC-SHARED-PRELOAD-LIBRARIES">shared_preload_libraries</a> or
+ <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-client.html#GUC-LOCAL-PRELOAD-LIBRARIES">local_preload_libraries</a>.

+ the user. A target detail is required if <code class="literal">%d</code> is
+ used in the command string, and prohibited otherwise. For security
+ reasons, it may contain only alphanumeric characters. If
+ <code class="literal">%%</code> occurs in the command string, it will be replaced
+ by a single <code class="literal">%</code>. If <code class="literal">%</code> occurs in
+ the command string followed by any other character or at the end of the
