The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/14/auth-pg-hba-conf.html
Description:
On the pg_hba.conf page,
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-pg-hba-conf.html, the bulk of
the page involves the format of the file and what the fields mean. There are
a couple of sentences of usage information (how to reload the file after
changes) in the middle of the reference info. It's possible to overlook the
how-to info on the long page if you don't need the details about the file
contents, just that one tip about reloading.
> The pg_hba.conf file is read on start-up and when the main server process
receives a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file on an active system, you will
need to signal the postmaster (using pg_ctl reload, calling the SQL function
pg_reload_conf(), or using kill -HUP) to make it re-read the file.
I suggest moving the usage info to one end of the page or the other, and
adding a subheading to clarify that the page covers more than the syntax of
the file contents. Possibilities:
21.1. The pg_hba.conf File
Client authentication is controlled... (same first paragraph as before)
21.1.1 Loading or Reloading the Configuration
The pg_hba.conf file is read on start-up...
Note: The preceding statement...
The system view pg_hba_file_rules can be helpful...
21.1.2 Contents of pg_hba.conf
The general format of the pg_hba.conf file is a set of records...
<all the other info about the format and contents of the file>
Example 21.1. Example pg_hba.conf Entries
or
21.1. The pg_hba.conf File

<all the other info about the format and contents of the file>
