Compression option handling (level, algorithm or even workers) can be used across several parts of the system and not only base backups. Structures, objects and routines are renamed in consequence, to remove the concept of base backups from this part of the code making this change straight-forward. pg_receivewal, that has gained support for LZ4 since babbbb5, will make use of this infrastructure for its set of compression options, bringing more consistency with pg_basebackup. This cleanup needs to be done before releasing a beta of 15. pg_dump is a potential future target, as well, and adding more compression options to it may happen in 16~.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
