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.
