 *
 * libpq-be-fe-helpers.h
 *	  Helper functions for using libpq in extensions
 *
 * Code built directly into the backend is not allowed to link to libpq
 * directly. Extension code is allowed to use libpq however. However, libpq
 * used in extensions has to be careful to block inside libpq, otherwise
 * interrupts will not be processed, leading to issues like unresolvable
 * deadlocks. Backend code also needs to take care to acquire/release an
 * external fd for the connection, otherwise fd.c's accounting of fd's is
 * broken.
 *
 * This file provides helper functions to make it easier to comply with these
 * rules. It is a header only library as it needs to be linked into each
 * extension using libpq, and it seems too small to be worth adding a
 * dedicated static library for.
 *
 * TODO: For historical reasons the connections established here are not put
 * into non-blocking mode. That can lead to blocking even when only the async
 * libpq functions are used. This should be fixed.
