5 # This file consists of lines of the form:
9 # (The '=' is optional.) White space may be used. Comments are introduced
10 # with '#' anywhere on a line. The complete list of option names and
11 # allowed values can be found in the PostgreSQL documentation. The
12 # commented-out settings shown in this file represent the default values.
14 # Please note that re-commenting a setting is NOT sufficient to revert it
15 # to the default value, unless you restart the postmaster.
17 # Any option can also be given as a command line switch to the
18 # postmaster, e.g. 'postmaster -c log_connections=on'. Some options
19 # can be changed at run-time with the 'SET' SQL command.
21 # This file is read on postmaster startup and when the postmaster
22 # receives a SIGHUP. If you edit the file on a running system, you have
23 # to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect, or use
24 # "pg_ctl reload". Some settings, such as listen_addresses, require
25 # a postmaster shutdown and restart to take effect.
