bash – 如何非交互地为psql指定密码？

我试图用shell脚本自动化数据库创建过程和一个事情，我已经通过一个路径块传递密码psql。
这里是一些来自shell脚本的代码：

psql -U $DB_USER -h localhost -c"$DB_RECREATE_sql"

如何以非交互方式将密码传递给psql？

谢谢！

从 official documentation：

It is also convenient to have a ~/.pgpass file to avoid regularly having to type in passwords. See 07001 for more information.
