       on a line; the first comment character terminates  the  data.   Leading
       whitespace and blank lines are ignored.

       The  first uncommented, non-blank line is used, all following lines are
       ignored.

       Fields must be given in the following order, separated by white space:

       VERSION
              The major PostgreSQL version of the cluster to connect to.

       CLUSTER
              The name of a  cluster  to  connect  to.  A  remote  cluster  is
              specified with host:port. If port is empty, it defaults to 5432.

       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 *, the default database will be the one  named
              by the user's login id.
