Thread: doc: mention pg_reload_conf() in pg_hba.conf documentation
Hi I noticed the documentation for pg_hba.conf: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-pg-hba-conf.html says: you will need to signal the postmaster (using pg_ctl reload or kill -HUP) to make it re-read the file. It would be useful to mention pg_reload_conf() as another option here, as done elsewhere in the docs. Patch with suggested change attached.

Oh, good point. Not sure how we missed that, but I had to fix a mention in pg_hba.conf a while ago too. Also, there were two mentions in that file, so I fixed them both with the attached patch. Backpatched to 9.4. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + As you are, so once was I.

Backpatched to 9.4. Thanks! I only noticed it because I was writing up some basic instructions for someone not very familiar with Pg, and cross-referencing to the documentation.
