The view <code class="structname">pg_hba_file_rules</code> provides a summary of
the contents of the client authentication configuration file,
<a class="link" href="auth-pg-hba-conf.html" title="21.1. The pg_hba.conf File"><code class="filename">pg_hba.conf</code></a>.
A row appears in this view for each
non-empty, non-comment line in the file, with annotations indicating
whether the rule 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_hba_file_rules</code> view can be read
only by superusers.
