PG_WRAPPER(1)	       Debian PostgreSQL infrastructure		 PG_WRAPPER(1)

NAME
       pg_wrapper - wrapper for PostgreSQL client commands

SYNOPSIS
       client-program [--cluster version/cluster] [...]

       (client-program: psql, createdb, dropuser, and all other client
       programs installed in /usr/lib/postgresql/version/bin).

DESCRIPTION
       This program is run only as a link to names which correspond to
       PostgreSQL programs in /usr/lib/postgresql/version/bin. It determines
       the configured cluster and database for the user and calls the
       appropriate version of the desired program to connect to that cluster
       and database, supplying any specified options to that command.

       The target cluster is selected by the following means, in descending
       order of precedence:

       1.  explicit specification with the --host option

       2.  explicit specification with the --cluster option

       3.  if the PGHOST environment variable is set, no further cluster
	   selection is performed. The default PostgreSQL version and port
	   number (from the command line, the environment variable PGPORT, or
	   default 5432) will be used.

       4.  explicit specification with the PGCLUSTER environment variable

       5.  matching entry in ~/.postgresqlrc (see postgresqlrc(5)), if that
	   file exists

       6.  matching entry in /etc/postgresql-common/user_clusters (see
	   user_clusters(5)), if that file exists

       7.  If only one local cluster exists, that one will be selected.

       8.  If several local clusters exist, the one listening on the default
	   port 5432 will be selected.

       If none of these rules match, pg_wrapper does not set any environment
       variables and the program called will likely error out with a message
       like "could not connect to server: Connection refused".

       For psql, pg_archivecleanup, and pg_isready, pg_wrapper will always use
       the binary from the newest PostgreSQL version installed, as these are
       downwards compatible.

OPTIONS
       --cluster version/cluster
       --cluster version/host:[port]
	   cluster is either the name of a local cluster, or takes the form
	   host:port for a remote cluster. If port is left empty (i. e. you
	   just specify host:), it defaults to 5432.

ENVIRONMENT
       PGCLUSTER
	   If $PGCLUSTER is set, its value (of the form version/cluster)
	   specifies the desired cluster, similar to the --cluster option.
	   However, if --cluster is specified, it overrides the value of
	   $PGCLUSTER.

       PG_CLUSTER_CONF_ROOT
	   This specifies an alternative base directory for cluster
	   configurations. This is usually /etc/postgresql/, but for
	   testing/development purposes you can change this to point to e. g.
	   your home directory, so that you can use the postgresql-common
	   tools without root privileges.

       PGSYSCONFDIR
	   This is the location of PostgreSQL's and postgresql-common's global
	   configuration (e. g. pg_service.conf, user_clusters(5)). The
	   default is /etc/postgresql-common/.

FILES
       /etc/postgresql-common/user_clusters
	   stores the default cluster and database for users and groups as set
	   by the administrators.

       $HOME/.postgresqlrc
	   stores defaults set by the user himself.

SEE ALSO
       user_clusters(5), postgresqlrc(5)
