The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/functions.html
Description:

Dear all, 

I am using 

documentation says " The psql commands \df and \do can be used to list all
available functions and operators, respectively."

which clearly indicates that those are built in function , please correct me
if I am wrong and I went to the wrong part of the documentation. 


-----------------------------------------------------



apple=# \df
                                List of functions
 Schema |          Name          | Result data type | Argument data types |
Type 
--------+------------------------+------------------+---------------------+------
 public | update_modified_column | trigger          |                     |
func
(1 row)


that is not what I was expecting , I was expecting a list of built-in
functions .


apple=# \do
                             List of operators
 Schema | Name | Left arg type | Right arg type | Result type | Description

--------+------+---------------+----------------+-------------+-------------
(0 rows)

From the psql documentation https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/app-psql.html:

	"By default, only user-created objects are shown; supply a pattern or
	the S modifier to include system objects.

So \dfS is probably what you're looking for.  Maybe making a link to the psql
page from the text you're referring to could be useful?
