How can I tell if pg_restore is running?

[Moshe Jacobson <moshe@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My extension has a config table that is dumped by pg_dump and populated by pg_restore.

However, this table has triggers on it that I would like not to do anything if the table is being populated by pg_restore. I want the triggers to operate only if the user is manipulating the table directly after the database has been restored and is running.

Is there a way for my extension's trigger functions to return immediately when triggered by pg_restore?

Thanks.
