      Use <replaceable class="parameter">separator</replaceable> as the
      record separator for unaligned output. This is equivalent to

      <para>
      Run in single-step mode. That means the user is prompted before
      each command is sent to the server, with the option to cancel
      execution as well. Use this to debug scripts.

      <para>
      This mode is provided for those who insist on it, but you are not
      necessarily encouraged to use it. In particular, if you mix
      <acronym>SQL</acronym> and meta-commands on a line the order of
      execution might not always be clear to the inexperienced user.

      <listitem>
      <para>
      Perform a variable assignment, like the <command>\set</command>
      meta-command. Note that you must separate name and value, if
      any, by an equal sign on the command line. To unset a variable,
      leave off the equal sign. To set a variable with an empty value,
      use the equal sign but leave off the value. These assignments are
      done during command line processing, so variables that reflect
      connection state will get overwritten later.
