--no-unlogged-table-data do not dump unlogged table data
--on-conflict-do-nothing add ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING to INSERT commands
--quote-all-identifiers quote all identifiers, even if not key words
--rows-per-insert=NROWS number of rows per INSERT; implies --inserts
--use-set-session-authorization
use SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION commands instead of
ALTER OWNER commands to set ownership
Connection options:
-d, --dbname=CONNSTR connect using connection string
-h, --host=HOSTNAME database server host or socket directory
-l, --database=DBNAME alternative default database
-p, --port=PORT database server port number
