- The view <code class="structname">pg_file_settings</code> provides a summary of
- the contents of the server's configuration file(s). A row appears in
- this view for each <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">name = value</span>”</span> entry appearing in the files,
- with annotations indicating whether the value could be applied
- successfully. Additional row(s) may appear for problems not linked to
- a <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">name = value</span>”</span> entry, such as syntax errors in the files.
- </p><p>
- This view is helpful for checking whether planned changes in the
- configuration files will work, or for diagnosing a previous failure.
- Note that this view reports on the <span class="emphasis"><em>current</em></span> contents of the
- files, not on what was last applied by the server. (The
- <a class="link" href="view-pg-settings.html" title="51.86. pg_settings"><code class="structname">pg_settings</code></a>
- view is usually sufficient to determine that.)
- </p><p>
- By default, the <code class="structname">pg_file_settings</code> view can be read
- only by superusers.

- If the configuration file contains syntax errors or invalid parameter
- names, the server will not attempt to apply any settings from it, and
- therefore all the <code class="structfield">applied</code> fields will read as false.
- In such a case there will be one or more rows with
- non-null <code class="structfield">error</code> fields indicating the
- problem(s). Otherwise, individual settings will be applied if possible.
- If an individual setting cannot be applied (e.g., invalid value, or the
- setting cannot be changed after server start) it will have an appropriate
- message in the <code class="structfield">error</code> field. Another way that
- an entry might have <code class="structfield">applied</code> = false is that it is
- overridden by a later entry for the same parameter name; this case is not
- considered an error so nothing appears in
- the <code class="structfield">error</code> field.
