I think the way this should work is that you call postmaster with a new switch and it prints out its configuration, after reading the appropriate config file(s). That way it handles all the little details such as figuring out the correct config file, hadle include files, etc. This output would be presumably easier to parse and more trustworthy. Right now we have --describe-config, which is missing the values for each config option. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvhe...@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
