Re: how to get the connected session pointer ( Archive * AH)

I have a libpq C interface code which takes user/password to connect to the
db. Now, I want to call it from a pgsql function where user will not need
to put any user name or password, rather it will use the current session ID.
How can I do it? Any idea, please.

Thanks.
