pg_conftool − read and edit PostgreSQL cluster configuration files
pg_conftool [options] [version cluster] [configfile] command
pg_conftool allows to show and set parameters in PostgreSQL configuration files.
If version cluster is omitted, it defaults to the default cluster (see user_clusters(5) and postgresqlrc(5)). If configfile is omitted, it defaults to postgresql.conf. configfile can also be a path, in which case version cluster is ignored.
