12.10. psql Support

Information about text search configuration objects can be obtained in psql using a set of commands:

\dF{d,p,t}[+] [PATTERN]

An optional + produces more details.

The optional parameter `PATTERN can be the name of a text search object, optionally schema-qualified. If PATTERN is omitted then information about all visible objects will be displayed. PATTERN` can be a regular expression and can provide separate patterns for the schema and object names. The following examples illustrate this:

=> \dF *fulltext*
       List of text search configurations
 Schema |  Name        | Description
--------+--------------+-------------
 public | fulltext_cfg |

=> \dF *.fulltext*
       List of text search configurations
 Schema   |  Name        | Description
----------+----------------------------
 fulltext | fulltext_cfg |
 public   | fulltext_cfg |

The available commands are:
