Hi all,
This is documented in two places, both in the CREATE FUNCTION
documentation page of the user guide, and in the Developers guide
under the section on extending postgres by writing dynamically loaded
functions. Is there a man page that needs updating too?
Maybe a topic index to the documentation would make it easier to find
all the documentation for a particular topic. Is it easy to do that in
sgml?
