From the documentation link that Tom provided you might have read that
the frontend/backend protocol which the database server and clients
connecting to it use - is a message based protocol in which the
messages are exchanged over either TCP/IP connection or UNIX doman
sockets. If you configure your client to use loopback interface
(127.0.0.1) to connect to the database you would be looking at a
TCP/IP connection, so probably manageable by Wireshark. Though, I
would suggest reading the protocol description in the documentation so
that you understand distinct phases of connection and subsequent
operation over the established connection.
