The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/config-setting.html
Description:
Hello,
I have just used the set_config(...) function for the first time and it took
me a bit of experimenting to understand the effect of the is_local
parameter. My suggestion would be to add a bit of explanation on that.
Thank you
Joao

This is equivalent to the LOCAL clause in the SET query:

Specifically, the hyperlink link to the SET command in that section is
expected to be referenced for details. Repeating that documentation on the
config-settings page is not particularly desirable.

I think the OP might be looking at table 9.85 (Configuration Settings
Functions), in which the cross-references to SET and SHOW are *not*
hyperlinks. But they should be. Will fix. I think there might be
room to say explicitly that is_local is equivalent to SET's LOCAL
option, too.
