=head1 NAME

pg_conftool - read and edit PostgreSQL cluster configuration files

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<pg_conftool> [I<options>] [I<version> I<cluster>] [I<configfile>] B<command>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<pg_conftool> allows to show and set parameters in PostgreSQL configuration
files.

If I<version> I<cluster> is omitted, it defaults to the default cluster (see
user_clusters(5) and postgresqlrc(5)). If I<configfile> is omitted, it defaults
to B<postgresql.conf>. I<configfile> can also be a path, in which case
I<version> I<cluster> is ignored.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-s>, B<--short>

Show only the value (instead of key = value pair).

=item B<-v>, B<--verbose>

Verbose output.

=item B<--help>

Print help.

=back

=head1 COMMANDS

=over 4

=item B<show> I<parameter>|B<all>

Show a parameter, or all present in this config file.

=item B<set> I<parameter> I<value>

Set or update a parameter.

=item B<remove> I<parameter>

Remove (comment out) a parameter from a config file.
