Document "B" and "us" as accepted units in postgres.conf.sample

j-naylor · j-naylor · commit bb95feabb857 · 2021-07-21T10:17:07.000-04:00
In postgresql.conf, memory and file size GUCs can be specified with "B" (bytes) as of b06d8e5. Likewise, time GUCs can be specified with "us" (microseconds) as of caf626b. Update postgres.conf.sample to reflect that fact. Pavel Luzanov Backpatch to v12, which is the earliest version that allows both of these units. A separate commit will document the "B" case for v11.
