 # compress = < yes | no > (default = yes)
 # if yes, compress the pg_dump/pg_dumpall output. 
 
+# format = < plain | tar | custom > (default = plain)
+# plain -  Output a plain-text SQL script file with the extension .sql.
+#          When dumping all databases, a single file is created via pg_dumpall.
+# tar -    Output a tar archive suitable for input into pg_restore. More 
+#          flexible than plain and can be manipulated by standard Unix tools 
+#          such as tar. Creates a globals.sql file and an archive per database.
+# custom - Output a custom PostgreSQL pg_restore archive. This is the most
+#          flexible format allowing selective import and reordering of database
+#          objects at the time the database is restored via pg_restore. This
+#          option creates a globals.sql file containing the cluster role and
+#          other information dumped by pg_dumpall -g and a pg_restore file
+#          per selected database. See the pg_dump and pg_restore man pages.
