This appendix and the previous one contain information regarding the modules that can be found in the contrib directory of the PostgreSQL™ distribution. See Appendix F, Additional Supplied Modules for more information about the contrib section in general and server extensions and plug-ins found in contrib specifically.

This appendix covers utility programs found in contrib. Once installed, either from source or a packaging system, they are found in the bin directory of the PostgreSQL™ installation and can be used like any other program.

This section covers PostgreSQL™ client applications in contrib. They can be run from anywhere, independent of where the database server resides. See also PostgreSQL Client Applications for information about client applications that part of the core PostgreSQL™ distribution.
