# F.1. adminpack

`adminpack` provides a number of support functions which pgAdmin and other administration and management tools can use to provide additional functionality, such as remote management of server log files.

## F.1.1. Functions implemented

The functions implemented by `adminpack` can only be run by a superuser. Here's a list of these functions:

    int8 pg_catalog.pg_file_write(fname text, data text, append bool)
    bool pg_catalog.pg_file_rename(oldname text, newname text, archivename text)
    bool pg_catalog.pg_file_rename(oldname text, newname text)
    bool pg_catalog.pg_file_unlink(fname text)
    setof record pg_catalog.pg_logdir_ls()

    /* Renaming of existing backend functions for pgAdmin compatibility */
    int8 pg_catalog.pg_file_read(fname text, data text, append bool)
    bigint pg_catalog.pg_file_length(text)
    int4 pg_catalog.pg_logfile_rotate()
