Missing from that page are mostly standard variables that aren't specific to PostgreSQL but that applications like psql might use. Documented elsewhere are: EDITOR (psql) PAGER (psql) PGDATA (various) PSQL_EDITOR (psql) SHELL (psql) TMPDIR (psql) TZ (postmaster) VISUAL (psql) I see LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE in a few places but not in the documentation for postgres/postmaster, which is where they appear to be used (backend/main/main.c). Should those pages mention them? A couple of variables are used in the code but aren't mentioned in the documentation. Are they worth documenting?
