   The view <code class="structname">pg_ident_file_mappings</code> provides a summary
   of the contents of the client user name mapping configuration file,
   <a class="link" href="auth-username-maps.html" title="21.2. User Name Maps"><code class="filename">pg_ident.conf</code></a>.
   A row appears in this view for each non-empty, non-comment line in the file,
   with annotations indicating whether the map could be applied successfully.
  </p><p>
   This view can be helpful for checking whether planned changes in the
   authentication configuration file will work, or for diagnosing a previous
   failure.  Note that this view reports on the <span class="emphasis"><em>current</em></span>
   contents of the file, not on what was last loaded by the server.
  </p><p>
   By default, the <code class="structname">pg_ident_file_mappings</code> view can be
   read only by superusers.
