LibPQ has various defaults for the host, user, and DB name.
There's also the password file, the service file and service name.
In the example below, I can connect with a "naked" psql invocation.

Once connected, can I find out all aspects of the connection string?
Or where they came from, like a pgpass.conf or service file?

How to get the host, port, db name once connected?
SHOW and pg_settings does not appear to be it, at first glance.

Thanks, --DD
