The connection service file allows libpq connection parameters to be
associated with a single service name. That service name can then be
- specified in a libpq connection string, and the associated settings will be
+ specified using the <literal>service</literal> key word
+ in a libpq connection string, and the associated settings will be
used. This allows connection parameters to be modified without requiring
a recompile of the libpq-using application. The service name can also be
specified using the <envar>PGSERVICE</envar> environment variable.
