+## About:
+
+This is a modern binding to the mature [libpq, the official PostgreSQL C-client library](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/libpq.html).
+
+### Highlights:
+
+* Nearly 100% support for [asynchronous usage](pq/AsyncOperations).
+* Extended type [support by pg_type](pq/UsingTypes).
+* Fetching simple [multi-dimensional array maps](pq/FetchingResults#markdown-header-fetching-simple-maps).
+* Working [Gateway implementation](https://bitbucket.org/m6w6/pq-gateway).

+### Connection Flags:
+* PERSISTENT  
+(Re-)open a persistent connection.
+* ASYNC  
+If the connection is not already open, perform the connection attempt [asynchronously](pq/Connection/: Asynchronous Usage).
+
+### Connection Status:
+* OK  
+Everything well; if a connection has been newly and synchronously created, the connection will always have this status right after creation.
+* BAD  
+Broken connection; consider pq\Connection::reset() or recreation.
+* STARTED  
+Waiting for connection to be made.
+* MADE  
+Connection OK; waiting to send.
+* AWAITING_RESPONSE  
+Waiting for a response from the server.
+* AUTH_OK  
+Received authentication; waiting for backend start-up to finish.
+* SSL_STARTUP  
+Negotiating SSL encryption.
+* SETENV  
+Negotiating environment-driven parameter settings.
+
+### Transaction Status:
+* TRANS_IDLE  
+  No active transaction.
+* TRANS_ACTIVE  
+  A transaction command is in progress.
+* TRANS_INTRANS  
+  Idling in a valid transcation block.
+* TRANS_INERROR  
+  Idling in a failed transaction block.
+* TRANS_UNKNOWN  
+  Bad connection.
+
+### Polling Status:
+* POLLING_FAILED  
+  The connection procedure has failed.
+* POLLING_READING  
+  Select for read-readiness.
+* POLLING_WRITING  
+  Select for write-readiness.
+* POLLING_OK  
+  The connection has been successfully made.
+
+### Event Listener Types:
+* EVENT_NOTICE  
+  Register the event handler for notices.
+* EVENT_RESULT  
+  Register the event handler for any created results.
+* EVENT_RESET  
+  Register the event handler for connection resets.
+
+
+## Properties:
+* public (readonly) $status  
+  A [connection status constant](pq/Connection#Connection.Status:) value.
+* public (readonly) $transactionStatus  
+  A [transaction status constant](pq/Connection#Transaction.Status:) value.
+* public (readonly) $socket  
+  The server socket resource.
+* public (readonly) $busy  
+  Whether the connection is busy with [asynchronous operations](pq/Connection/: Asynchronous Usage).
+* public (readonly) $errorMessage  
+  Any error message on failure.
+* public $encoding = NULL  
+  Connection character set.
+* public $unbuffered = FALSE  
+  Whether to fetch results in unbuffered mode, i.e. each row generates a distinct pq\Result.
+
+### Connection Information:
+* public (readonly) $db  
+The database name of the connection.
+* public (readonly) $user  
+The user name of the connection.
+* public (readonly) $pass
