<span class="application">pg_isready</span> returns <code class="literal">0</code> to the shell if the server
is accepting connections normally, <code class="literal">1</code> if the server is rejecting
connections (for example during startup), <code class="literal">2</code> if there was no response to the
connection attempt, and <code class="literal">3</code> if no attempt was made (for example due to invalid
parameters).
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.4.15.8"><h2>Environment</h2><p>
<code class="command">pg_isready</code>, like most other <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>
utilities,
also uses the environment variables supported by <span class="application">libpq</span>
(see <a class="xref" href="libpq-envars.html" title="34.15. Environment Variables">Section 34.15</a>).
</p><p>
The environment variable <code class="envar">PG_COLOR</code> specifies whether to use
color in diagnostic messages. Possible values are
<code class="literal">always</code>, <code class="literal">auto</code> and
<code class="literal">never</code>.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="APP-PG-ISREADY-NOTES"><h2>Notes</h2><p>
It is not necessary to supply correct user name, password, or database
name values to obtain the server status; however, if incorrect values
are provided, the server will log a failed connection attempt.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" id="APP-PG-ISREADY-EXAMPLES"><h2>Examples</h2><p>
