 *
 * superuser.c
 *	  The superuser() function.  Determines if user has superuser privilege.
 *
 * All code should use either of these two functions to find out
 * whether a given user is a superuser, rather than examining
 * pg_authid.rolsuper directly, so that the escape hatch built in for
 * the single-user case works.
