Yes sir, thank you. That is what the script does.
But that little script seems fragilly-dependent upon the format of the
list file and runs (starts a new process for) pg_restore for every
individual line in the list file. ... which seems like poor practise,
generally. Additionally, I'd like stability in the output file names,
rather than the (likely changing) internal, automatically
numerically-named items.
And, btw, I want not just a single table.
The dependance issue is potentially a problem, but (as I believe) it
looks like the output of pg_restore in a list file is in the correct
order to process dependencies, so I could walk backwards of forwards
through that if changes to one object were dependent on, or caused
cascading effects in other objects.
