README.pg_controldata 

I had a need to read such things as the backend locale and the catalog
version number from the current database, and couldn't find any existing
program to do that.

The attached utility produces output like this:

$ pg_controldata
pg_control version number:            71
Catalog version number:               200101061
Database state:                       IN_PRODUCTION

To access the pg_control file, the program must be run as the Postgres user,
and PGDATA must be set correctly in its environment.
