NAME
pg_conftool - read and edit PostgreSQL cluster configuration files
SYNOPSIS
pg_conftool [ options ] [ version cluster ] [ configfile ] command
DESCRIPTION
pg_conftool allows showing and setting parameters in PostgreSQL configuration files.
If version cluster is omitted, it defaults to the default cluster (see user_clusters (5) and postgresqlrc (5)). If configfile is omitted, it defaults to postgresql.conf . configfile can also be a path, in which case version cluster is ignored.
OPTIONS
-b , --boolean
Format boolean value as on or off (not for "show all").
-s , --short
Show only the value (instead of key = value pair).
-v , --verbose
Verbose output.
--help
Print help.
COMMANDS
show parameter | all
Show a parameter, or all present in this config file.
set parameter value
Set or update a parameter.
remove parameter
Remove (comment out) a parameter from a config file.
edit
Open the config file in an editor. Unless $EDITOR is set, vi is used.
