Subject: Make failure to open psql's --log-file fatal.
X-Git-Tag: REL9_6_BETA1~1026
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=521f0458dcd7bb28636250cdfce9b1a3020cff4c;p=postgresql

Make failure to open psql's --log-file fatal.

Commit 344cdff2c made failure to open the target of --output fatal.
For consistency, the --log-file switch should behave similarly.
Like the previous commit, back-patch to 9.5 but no further.
