As shipped, -the user \*(lqpostgres\*(rq can destroy users. -.PP -.IR Destroyuser -is a shell script that invokes -.IR psql . -Hence, a -.IR postmaster -process must be running on the database server host before -.IR destroyuser -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 username -specifies the name of the Postgres user to be destroyed.
