+.SH NAME
+user_clusters \- File linking users to PostgreSQL clusters
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The file
+.B /etc/postgresql-common/user_clusters
+maps users against the database clusters to which they will
+connect by default. However, every user can override these settings in
+.B ~/.postgresqlrc\fR.
+
+When scanning this file, the first matching line will be used.  It is a
+good idea to provide a default explicitly, with a final line where both
+user and group are set to 
+.BR * .
+
+If there is no default, the implicit default is to connect to the cluster
+listening on port 5432 and to the database matching the user's
+login name.
+
+.SH FORMAT
+Comments are introduced by the character
+.BR # .
+Comments may follow data on a line; the first comment character terminates
+the data. Leading whitespace and blank lines are ignored.
+
+Each uncommented, non\-blank line must describe a user, group or the
+default (where both user and group are set to \fB*\fR).
+
+Fields must be given in the following order, separated by white space:
+
+.TP
+.B USER
+The login id of the Unix user to whom this line applies. The wildcard character
+.B *
+means any user.
+.TP
+.B GROUP
+The group name of the Unix group to which this line applies. The wildcard character
+.B *
+means any group.
+.TP
+.B VERSION
+The major PostgreSQL version of the cluster to connect to.
+.TP
+.B CLUSTER
+The name of a cluster to connect to. A remote cluster is specified
+with \fIhost\fR:\fIport\fR. If port is empty, it defaults to 5432.
+.TP
+.B DATABASE
+Within the cluster, the database to which the user will connect by default
+if he does not specify a database on the command line.  If this is
+.BR * ,
+the default database will be the one named by the user's login id.
+
+.SH NOTES
+.P
+Since the first matching line is used, the default line must come last.
