-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.IR Createdb

-the database administrator, or DBA, for this database and is the only
-person, other than the Postgres super-user, who can destroy it.
-.PP
-.IR Createdb
-is a shell script that invokes
-.IR psql .
-Hence, a
-.IR postmaster
-process must be running on the database server host before
-.IR createdb
-is executed. In addition, the
-.SM PGOPTION
-and
-.SM PGREALM
-environment variables will be passed on to
-.IR psql
-and processed as described in
-.IR psql (1).
-.PP
-The optional argument
-.IR dbname
-specifies the name of the database to be created. The name must be
-unique among all Postgres databases.
-.IR Dbname
-defaults to the value of the
-.SM USER
-environment variable.
-.PP
-.IR Createdb
-understands the following command-line options:
-.TP 5n
-.BR "-a" " system"
-Specifies an authentication system
-.IR "system"
-(see
-.IR introduction (1))
-to use in connecting to the
-.IR postmaster
-process. The default is site-specific.
-.TP
-.BR "-h" " host"
-Specifies the hostname of the machine on which the
-.IR postmaster
-is running. Defaults to the name of the local host, or the value of
-the
-.SM PGHOST
-environment variable (if set).
-.TP
-.BR "-p" " port"
-Specifies the Internet TCP port on which the
-.IR postmaster
-is listening for connections. Defaults to 5432, or the value of the
-.SM PGPORT
-environment variable (if set).
-.SH EXAMPLES
-.nf
-# create 5432 demo database
-createdb demo
-.fi
-.nf
-# create the demo database using the postmaster on host eden,
-# port using the Kerberos authentication system.
