pg_conversion
A system table describing encoding conversion functions
pg_conversion is a system catalogue table which describes encoding conversion functions.
pg_conversion was added in PostgreSQL 7.3.
Source code
Between PostgreSQL 8.4 (commit 039dfbfd) and PostgreSQL 11 (commit cefa3871), an additional source file src/include/catalog/pg_conversion_fn.h existed to enable catalogue definitions to be included by frontend code.
