Hi,

according to the docs, the database specification in the pg_hba.conf file can be read 
from a separate file 
(<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-pg-hba-conf.html>: “A separate 
file containing database names can be specified by preceding the file name with @.”)

However, I could not find a specification of the format for this file…  It 
appears as if simply giving each database name on a separate line does the job. 
 Is this correct?  May the file contain comments (i.e. lines starting with “#”) 
or empty lines?  May the file be specified including a path (e.g. 
“@/some/path/databases”)?

IMHO, it might be helpful if this information would be added to the docs.

Thanks, Albrecht.
