CSV format is well documented
(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-logging.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-LOGGING-CSVLOG).
If you want named fields you can wait for pg15 and its jsonlog
(https://www.depesz.com/2022/01/17/waiting-for-postgresql-15-introduce-log_destinationjsonlog/).
I, for one, wouldn't want to have to deal with field names repeated in
every single record.
