</synopsis>
Each of the first four fields may be a literal value, or <literal>*</literal>,
which
matches anything. The password field from the first line that matches the
which matches anything. The password field from the first line that matches the
current connection parameters will be used. (Therefore, put more-specific
entries first when you are using wildcards.)
If an entry needs to contain <literal>:</literal> or
<literal>\</literal>, escape this character with <literal>\</literal>.
A hostname of <literal>localhost</> matches both <literal>host</> (TCP)
and <literal>local</> (Unix domain socket) connections coming from the
local machine.
