## 53.6. pg_config #

The view pg_config describes the compile-time configuration parameters of the currently installed version of PostgreSQL™. It is intended, for example, to be used by software packages that want to interface to PostgreSQL™ to facilitate finding the required header files and libraries. It provides the same basic information as the pg_config PostgreSQL™ client application.

By default, the pg_config view can be read only by superusers.
