Appendix J. Documentation

PostgreSQL has four primary documentation formats:

• Plain text, for pre-installation information

• HTML, for on-line browsing and reference

• PDF or PostScript, for printing

• man pages, for quick reference.

Additionally, a number of plain-textREADME files can be found throughout thePostgreSQL source tree, documenting various implementation issues.

HTML documentation and man pages are part of a standard distribution and are installed by default. PDF and PostScript format documentation is available separately for download.
