The syntax of the command is similar to that of the
<acronym>SQL</acronym> <xref linkend="sql-copy">
command. Note that, because of this,
command, and
<replaceable class="parameter">option</replaceable>
must indicate one of the options of the
<acronym>SQL</acronym> <xref linkend="sql-copy"> command.
Note that, because of this,
special parsing rules apply to the <command>\copy</command>
command. In particular, the variable substitution rules and
backslash escapes do not apply.
