psql to execute a test, it uses isolationtester. It accepts all the same
command-line arguments as pg_regress.

Test specification
deadlock). A test that uses this ability must manually specify valid
permutations, i.e. those that would not expect a blocked session to execute a
command. If a test fails to follow that rule, isolationtester will cancel it
-after PGISOLATIONTIMEOUT seconds. If the cancel doesn't work, isolationtester
-will exit uncleanly after a total of twice PGISOLATIONTIMEOUT. Testing
-invalid permutations should be avoided because they can make the isolation
-tests take a very long time to run, and they serve no useful testing purpose.

Note that isolationtester recognizes that a command has blocked by looking
to see if it is shown as waiting in the pg_locks view; therefore, only
