  <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 command which the server should execute for each archive generated
      by the backup process. If <code class="literal">%f</code> occurs in the command
      string, it will be replaced by the name of the archive (e.g.
      <code class="literal">base.tar</code>). If <code class="literal">%d</code> occurs in the
      command string, it will be replaced by the target detail provided by
      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
      string, an error occurs.
