<command>SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION</command>
        statements to set ownership of created database objects.
        These statements
        will fail when the script is run unless it is started by a superuser
        (or the same user that owns all of the objects in the script).
        To make a script that can be restored by any user, but will give
        that user ownership of all the objects, specify <option>-O</option>.
       </para>

       <para>
        This option is ignored when emitting an archive (non-text) output
        file.  For the archive formats, you can specify the option when you
        call <command>pg_restore</command>.

        Dump only the object definitions (schema), not data or statistics.

       <para>
        This option cannot be used with <option>--data-only</option>
        or <option>--statistics-only</option>.
        It is similar to, but for historical reasons not identical to,
        specifying
        <option>--section=pre-data --section=post-data</option>.
       </para>
       <para>

        uses the word <quote>schema</quote> in a different meaning.)

       <para>
        Specify the superuser user name to use when disabling triggers.
        This is relevant only if <option>--disable-triggers</option> is used.
        (Usually, it's better to leave this out, and instead start the
        resulting script as superuser.)

      <listitem>
       <para>
        Dump only tables with names matching
        <replaceable class="parameter">pattern</replaceable>. Multiple tables
        can be selected by writing multiple <option>-t</option> switches.  The
        <replaceable class="parameter">pattern</replaceable> parameter is
        interpreted as a pattern according to the same rules used by
        <application>psql</application>'s <literal>\d</literal> commands
        (see <xref linkend="app-psql-patterns"/>),
        so multiple tables can also be selected by writing wildcard characters
        in the pattern.  When using wildcards, be careful to quote the pattern
        if needed to prevent the shell from expanding the wildcards;  see
        <xref linkend="pg-dump-examples"/> below.
       </para>

       <para>
        As well as tables, this option can be used to dump the definition of matching
        views, materialized views, foreign tables, and sequences.  It will not dump the
        contents of views or materialized views, and the contents of foreign tables will
        only be dumped if the corresponding foreign server is specified with
        <option>--include-foreign-data</option>.
       </para>

       <para>
        The <option>-n</option> and <option>-N</option> switches have no effect when
        <option>-t</option>
