i dont think i understand the usage properly,

 i did the below postgresql.conf
custom_variable_classes = 'general'             # list of custom variable
class names
general.employee = ''

am i supposed to see the variable general.employee when i do "show all " ?
i did not see it in fact!

my question is how can i set it and read it

regds
Mallah.
