## O.5. `pg_receivexlog` renamed to `pg_receivewal`

[]()

 PostgreSQL 9.6 and below provided a command named `pg_receivexlog` []() to fetch write-ahead-log (WAL) files. This command was renamed to `pg_receivewal`, see [pg\_receivewal](app-pgreceivewal.html) for documentation of `pg_receivewal` and see [the release notes for PostgreSQL 10](release-prior.html) for details on this change.
