+ Notice and warning messages generated by the server are not returned
+ by the query execution functions, since they do not imply failure of
+ the query. Instead they are passed to a notice handling function, and
+ execution continues normally after the handler returns. The default
+ notice handling function prints the message on
+ <code class="filename">stderr</code>, but the application can override this
+ behavior by supplying its own handling function.
+ </p><p>
+ For historical reasons, there are two levels of notice handling, called
+ the notice receiver and notice processor. The default behavior is for
+ the notice receiver to format the notice and pass a string to the notice
+ processor for printing. However, an application that chooses to provide
+ its own notice receiver will typically ignore the notice processor
+ layer and just do all the work in the notice receiver.
+ </p><p>
+ The function <code class="function" id="LIBPQ-PQSETNOTICERECEIVER">PQsetNoticeReceiver</code>
+ <a id="id-1.7.3.20.5.2" class="indexterm"></a>
+ <a id="id-1.7.3.20.5.3" class="indexterm"></a> sets or
+ examines the current notice receiver for a connection object.
+ Similarly, <code class="function" id="LIBPQ-PQSETNOTICEPROCESSOR">PQsetNoticeProcessor</code>
+ <a id="id-1.7.3.20.5.5" class="indexterm"></a>
+ <a id="id-1.7.3.20.5.6" class="indexterm"></a> sets or
+ examines the current notice processor.
+
+</p><pre class="synopsis">
+typedef void (*PQnoticeReceiver) (void *arg, const PGresult *res);
+
+PQnoticeReceiver
+PQsetNoticeReceiver(PGconn *conn,
+ PQnoticeReceiver proc,
+ void *arg);
+
+typedef void (*PQnoticeProcessor) (void *arg, const char *message);
+
+PQnoticeProcessor
+PQsetNoticeProcessor(PGconn *conn,
+ PQnoticeProcessor proc,
+ void *arg);
+</pre><p>
+
+ Each of these functions returns the previous notice receiver or
+ processor function pointer, and sets the new value. If you supply a
+ null function pointer, no action is taken, but the current pointer is
+ returned.
+ </p><p>
+ When a notice or warning message is received from the server, or
+ generated internally by <span class="application">libpq</span>, the notice
+ receiver function is called. It is passed the message in the form of
+ a <code class="symbol">PGRES_NONFATAL_ERROR</code>
+ <code class="structname">PGresult</code>. (This allows the receiver to extract
+ individual fields using <a class="xref" href="libpq-exec.html#LIBPQ-PQRESULTERRORFIELD"><code class="function">PQresultErrorField</code></a>, or obtain a
+ complete preformatted message using <a class="xref" href="libpq-exec.html#LIBPQ-PQRESULTERRORMESSAGE"><code class="function">PQresultErrorMessage</code></a>
+ or <a class="xref" href="libpq-exec.html#LIBPQ-PQRESULTVERBOSEERRORMESSAGE"><code class="function">PQresultVerboseErrorMessage</code></a>.) The same
+ void pointer passed to <code class="function">PQsetNoticeReceiver</code> is also
+ passed. (This pointer can be used to access application-specific state
+ if needed.)
+ </p><p>
+ The default notice receiver simply extracts the message (using
+ <a class="xref" href="libpq-exec.html#LIBPQ-PQRESULTERRORMESSAGE"><code class="function">PQresultErrorMessage</code></a>) and passes it to the notice
+ processor.
+ </p><p>
+ The notice processor is responsible for handling a notice or warning
+ message given in text form. It is passed the string text of the message
+ (including a trailing newline), plus a void pointer that is the same
+ one passed to <code class="function">PQsetNoticeProcessor</code>. (This pointer
+ can be used to access application-specific state if needed.)
+ </p><p>
+ The default notice processor is simply:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+static void
+defaultNoticeProcessor(void *arg, const char *message)
+{
+ fprintf(stderr, "%s", message);
+}
+</pre><p>
+ </p><p>
+ Once you have set a notice receiver or processor, you should expect
+ that that function could be called as long as either the
+ <code class="structname">PGconn</code> object or <code class="structname">PGresult</code> objects made
+ from it exist. At creation of a <code class="structname">PGresult</code>, the
+ <code class="structname">PGconn</code>'s current notice handling pointers are copied
+ into the <code class="structname">PGresult</code> for possible use by functions like
+ <a class="xref" href="libpq-exec.html#LIBPQ-PQGETVALUE"><code class="function">PQgetvalue</code></a>.
