Correct. The patch follows the model of the existing code. It keeps
looking for the
correct service until it either finds it or doesn't.

If you want to temporarily hide your pg_service.conf.d directory or
files by removing
permissions, it will work fine, correctly skipping over them. That is
not considered
an error. If there is a real syntax error in the file, just as for
the other files, that will
be reported as a syntax error.

If after looking in all the right places it doesn't find the service,
it will correctly report
that the service was not found.
