Hi
The description for "pg_database" [1] mentions the function
"pg_encoding_to_char()", but this is not described anywhere in the docs. Given
that that it (and the corresponding "pg_char_to_encoding()") have been around
since 7.0 [2], it's probably not a burning issue, but it seems not entirely
unreasonable to add short descriptions for both (and link from "pg_conversion"
while we're at it); see attached patch. "System Catalog Information Functions"
seems the most logical place to put these.

Will add to the next commitfest.

When I applied the patch to the master, I found that the table entries for
those function were added into the table for aclitem functions in the docs.
I think this is not valid position and needs to be moved to the proper one
(maybe the table for system catalog information functions?).
+ <returnvalue>int</returnvalue>
+ <function>pg_encoding_to_char</function> ( <parameter>encoding</parameter>
<type>int</type> )
It's better to s/int/integer because the entries for other functions
in func.sgml use "integer".
