In the output I get from pg_dump I see many instances of expressions
like

...ADD CONSTRAINT "$1"...

What does the "$1" mean?

I want to add more constraints "by hand" to the dump file. I imagine
that the constraint would include the fragment

...ADD CONSTRAINT "$2"...

...or "$3", "$4", whatever, but I want to understand what I'm doing.

Thanks!
