I have a libpq C interface code which takes user/password to connect to the db. Now, I want to call it from a pgsql function where user will not need to put any user name or password, rather it will use the current session ID.
How can I do it? Any idea, please.

Thanks.

If I read pg_archiver.c correctly, the AH pointer is used only during
the archiving and is not "globally" stored anywhere, and therefore I
suspect the answer is NO (at least unless you modify the archiver).
What is the aim of having such pointer?
