## L.2. `pg_resetxlog` renamed to `pg_resetwal`

PostgreSQL 9.6 and below provided a command named `pg_resetxlog` to reset the write-ahead-log (WAL) files. This command was renamed to `pg_resetwal`, see pg_resetwal for documentation of `pg_resetwal` and see the release notes for PostgreSQL 10 for details on this change.
