       an user. If it is not present, the system-wide  file  /etc/postgresql-common/user_clusters
       is used instead.


FORMAT
       Comments are introduced by the character #.  Comments may follow data on a line; the first
       comment character terminates the data.  Leading whitespace and blank lines are ignored.

       The first uncommented, non-blank line is used, all following lines are ignored.

       Fields must be given in the following order, separated by white space:


       VERSION
              The major PostgreSQL version of the cluster to connect to.

       CLUSTER
              The name of a cluster to connect to. A remote cluster is specified with  host:port.
              If port is empty, it defaults to 5432.

       DATABASE
              Within  the  cluster,  the database to which the user will connect by default if he
              does not specify a database on the command line.  If this is *, the  default  data‐
              base will be the one named by the user's login id.
