Thread: Getting master host info from a slave

How can I get the master server host data from a running slave, without
reading recovery.conf file?

I've tried with SHOW, but that just gives me:

postgres=# show primary_conninfo;
ERROR:  unrecognized configuration parameter "primary_conninfo"

Unfortunately, right now, you can't. You have to read the file.
