This appendix and the previous one contain information regarding the modules that can be found in the contrib directory of the PostgreSQL distribution. See Módulos e extensões adicionais fornecidos for more information about the contrib section in general and server extensions and plug-ins found in contrib specifically.

This appendix covers utility programs found in contrib. Once installed, either from source or a packaging system, they are found in the bin directory of the PostgreSQL installation and can be used like any other program.
