Hi,
I think the man page is pretty clear: https://man.cx/shp2pgsql
You should precise the srid corresponding to your data using the -s option. And connection information can also be useful (host, port and user name). It is optional but you could add a spatial index with the -I option. 
Don't forget to give the path to the shapefile and its name without any extension. 
ogr2ogr can be use instead of shp2pgsql. 
HTH,
Hug

Hi all,

Is there a way to convert shapefiles into geometry records? I don’t see shapefiles on this list (see 9.4):
http://postgis.net/workshops/postgis-intro/geometries.html#polygons

My shapefiles are polygon type. I think this could be accomplished with shp2pgsq, does anyone have any examples you can share with me?

Thank you,

Naiara.
