It'd make more sense for pg_config to expose this as one of the available information bits. The difference from the thread-support case is that you'd typically want to get the pg_service.conf location manually, and that's exactly what pg_config is designed for. Verifying thread support, on the other hand, is something that a program would want to do. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
