Returns the client encoding.

Note that it returns the encoding ID, not a symbolic string
such as <code class="literal">EUC_JP</code>. If unsuccessful, it returns -1.
To convert an encoding ID to an encoding name, you
can use:

<em class="replaceable"><code>conn</code></em> is a connection to the server,

use. If the function successfully sets the encoding, it returns 0,
otherwise -1. The current encoding for this connection can be
determined by using <a class="xref" href="libpq-control.html#LIBPQ-PQCLIENTENCODING"><code class="function">PQclientEncoding</code></a>.

<a class="xref" href="libpq-control.html#LIBPQ-PQSETERRORVERBOSITY"><code class="function">PQsetErrorVerbosity</code></a> sets the verbosity mode,
returning the connection's previous setting.
In <em class="firstterm">TERSE</em> mode, returned messages include
severity, primary text, and position only; this will normally fit on a
single line. The <em class="firstterm">DEFAULT</em> mode produces messages
that include the above plus any detail, hint, or context fields (these
might span multiple lines). The <em class="firstterm">VERBOSE</em> mode
includes all available fields. The <em class="firstterm">SQLSTATE</em>
mode includes only the error severity and the <code class="symbol">SQLSTATE</code>
error code, if one is available (if not, the output is like
<em class="firstterm">TERSE</em> mode).
</p><p>
Changing the verbosity setting does not affect the messages available
from already-existing <code class="structname">PGresult</code> objects, only
subsequently-created ones.

<a class="xref" href="libpq-control.html#LIBPQ-PQSETERRORCONTEXTVISIBILITY"><code class="function">PQsetErrorContextVisibility</code></a> sets the context display mode,
returning the connection's previous setting. This mode controls
whether the <code class="literal">CONTEXT</code> field is included in messages.
The <em class="firstterm">NEVER</em> mode
never includes <code class="literal">CONTEXT</code>, while <em class="firstterm">ALWAYS</em> always
includes it if available. In <em class="firstterm">ERRORS</em> mode (the
default), <code class="literal">CONTEXT</code> fields are included only in error
messages, not in notices and warnings.
(However, if the verbosity setting is <em class="firstterm">TERSE</em>
or <em class="firstterm">SQLSTATE</em>, <code class="literal">CONTEXT</code> fields
are omitted regardless of the context display mode.)

Changing this mode does not

Enables tracing of the client/server communication to a debugging file
stream.
</p><pre class="synopsis">
void PQtrace(PGconn *conn, FILE *stream);

Each line consists of: an optional timestamp, a direction indicator
(<code class="literal">F</code> for messages from client to server
or <code class="literal">B</code> for messages from server to client),
message length, message type, and message contents.
Non-message contents fields (timestamp, direction, length and message type)
are separated by a tab. Message contents are separated by a space.
Protocol strings are enclosed in double quotes, while strings used as data
values are enclosed in single quotes. Non-printable chars are printed as
hexadecimal escapes.
Further message-type-specific detail can be found in
<a class="xref" href="protocol-message-formats.html" title="55.7. Message Formats">Section 55.7</a>.
</p><div class="note"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
On Windows, if the <span class="application">libpq</span> library and an application are
compiled with different flags, this function call will crash the
application because the internal representation of the <code class="literal">FILE</code>
pointers differ. Specifically, multithreaded/single-threaded,
release/debug, and static/dynamic flags should be the same for the
library and all applications using that library.

<code class="literal">flags</code> contains flag bits describing the operating mode
of tracing.
If <code class="literal">flags</code> contains <code class="literal">PQTRACE_SUPPRESS_TIMESTAMPS</code>,
then the timestamp is not included when printing each message.
If <code class="literal">flags</code> contains <code class="literal">PQTRACE_REGRESS_MODE</code>,
then some fields are redacted when printing each message, such as object
OIDs, to make the output more convenient to use in testing frameworks.
