## Synopsis
## Synopsis


```
pg_controldata [option] [[ -D | --pgdata ]datadir]
```

## Description

The `pg_controldata` utility serves a crucial role in Apache Cloudberry administration by revealing control information related to an Apache Cloudberry cluster. The information includes details initialized during the initdb process, such as the catalog version, write-ahead logging and checkpoint processing. It's important to note that the information is cluster-wide, and not specific to any individual database within the cluster.

## Options

The `pg_controldata` utility supports the following options.
| Option | Description |
| ------------ | ------------------- |
| `-V` and `--version` | Prints the `pg_controldata` version and exit. |
| `-?` and `--help` | Outputs a list of all supported arguments. It enables users to use the utility effectively. |

## Environment variables

The `pg_controldata` utility supports the following environment variables.

| Variable | Description |
| ------------ | ------------------- |
| `-PGDATA` | The default location of data directory. You can specify the data directory on the command line, or use the environment variable `PGDATA`. |
| `-PG_COLOR` | Determines whether to use color in diagnostic messages. The available values are `always`, `auto`, and `never`. Setting the value to `always` ensures that diagnostic messages are always presented in color, which enhances readability and visual identification of important information. Setting the value to `auto` enables color-coding based on the capabilities of the output terminal. Setting the value to `never` disables the usage of color entirely. |

# pg_controldata

`pg_controldata`工具显示 Apache Cloudberry 数据库集群的控制信息。

要运行此实用程序,你需要先初始化该集群,并且有权限读取数据目录。这种访问限制确保敏感控制信息的完整性和安全性。

## 概要

```
pg_controldata [option] [[ -D | --pgdata ]datadir]
```

## 描述

`pg_controldata` 实用工具在 Apache Cloudberry 数据库管理中发挥着关键作用,它展示了与 Apache Cloudberry 数据库集群相关的控制信息。这些信息包含 initdb 过程中初始化的详细内容(例如目录版本),预写式日志记录以及检查点处理等。这些信息是集群范围的,并非集群内的某个数据库的。

## 命令行选项说明

`pg_controldata` 实用工具支持以下命令行选项。
| 命令行选项 | 作用 |
| ------------ | ------------------- |
| `-V` 和 `--version` | 输出 `pg_controldata` 版本号并退出。 |
| `-?` 和 `--help` | 输出所有参数列表。这些参数帮助用户使用该实用工具。 |

## 环境变量

`pg_controldata` 实用工具支持以下环境变量。
| 环境变量 | 作用 |
| ------------ | ------------------- |
| `-PGDATA` | 数据目录的默认位置。可以用命令行或环境变量 `PGDATA` 指定数据目录。 |
| `-PG_COLOR` | 该变量决定是否在诊断消息中使用颜色。可用值有 `always`(始终)、`auto`(自动)、 和 `never`(从不)。将值设置为 `always`(始终)可确保诊断消息始终以彩色显示,这样可以提高可读性并从视觉上识别重要信息。将值设置为 `auto`(自动) 可根据输出终端的功能进行颜色编码。将值设置为 `never`(从不)则完全禁用颜色。 |
