<para>

List all available databases, then exit. Other non-connection

options are ignored. If an explicit database name is not

found the <literal>postgres</literal> database, not the user's,

will be targeted for connection. This is similar to the meta-command

options are ignored. This is similar to the meta-command

<command>\list</command>.

<para>

When this option is used, <application>psql</application> will connect

to the database <literal>postgres</literal>, unless a different database

is named on the command line (option <option>-d</option> or non-option

variable).
