Thread: back out configure options

Is there a way to figure out from binaries what options were used to
compile/config?  For example with apache I can do "httpd -l"

Thanks

pg_config is what you're looking for.

In some distributions, this may not be installed by default with the
rest of the server.  For example, in the RPM version you need the
postgresql-devel package to have it available.

Thanks.  That works nicely.
