<para>
|

<command>pg_controldata</command> prints information initialized during
|
|
<command>initdb</>, such as the catalog version and server locale.
|
|
It also shows information about write-ahead logging and checkpoint
|
|
processing. This information is cluster-wide, and not specific to any one
|
|
database.

This utility can only be run by the user who initialized the cluster because
|
|
it requires read access to the data directory.
|
|
You can specify the data directory on the command line, or use
|
|
the environment variable <envar>PGDATA</>.
