/*
 * A postgres disk page is an abstraction layered on top of a postgres
 * disk block (which is simply a unit of i/o, see block.h).
 *
 * specifically, while a disk block can be unformatted, a postgres
 * disk page is always a slotted page of the form:
 *
 * +----------------+---------------------------------+
 * | PageHeaderData | linp1 linp2 linp3 ...           |
 * +-----------+----+---------------------------------+
 * | ... linpN |                                      |
 * +-----------+--------------------------------------+
 * |           ^ pd_lower                             |
 * |                                                  |
 * |             v pd_upper                           |
 * +-------------+------------------------------------+
 * |             | tupleN ...                         |
 * +-------------+------------------+-----------------+
 * |       ... tuple3 tuple2 tuple1 | "special space" |
 * +--------------------------------+-----------------+
 *                                  ^ pd_special
 *
 * a page is full when nothing can be added between pd_lower and
 * pd_upper.
 *
 * all blocks written out by an access method must be disk pages.
 *
 * EXCEPTIONS:
 *
 * obviously, a page is not formatted before it is initialized by
 * a call to PageInit.
 *
 * NOTES:
 *
 * linp1..N form an ItemId (line pointer) array.  ItemPointers point
 * to a physical block number and a logical offset (line pointer
 * number) within that block/page.  Note that OffsetNumbers
 * conventionally start at 1, not 0.
 *
 * tuple1..N are added "backwards" on the page.  Since an ItemPointer
 * offset is used to access an ItemId entry rather than an actual
 * byte-offset position, tuples can be physically shuffled on a page
 * whenever the need arises.  This indirection also keeps crash recovery
 * relatively simple, because the low-level details of page space
 * management can be controlled by standard buffer page code during
 * logging, and during recovery.
 *
 * AM-generic per-page information is kept in PageHeaderData.
 *
 * AM-specific per-page data (if any) is kept in the area marked "special
 * space"; each AM has an "opaque" structure defined somewhere that is
 * stored as the page trailer.  an access method should always
 * initialize its pages with PageInit and then set its own opaque
 * fields.

/*
 * disk page organization
 *
 * space management information generic to any page
 *
 *      pd_lsn      - identifies xlog record for last change to this page.
 *      pd_checksum - page checksum, if set.
 *      pd_flags    - flag bits.
 *      pd_lower    - offset to start of free space.
 *      pd_upper    - offset to end of free space.
 *      pd_special  - offset to start of special space.
 *      pd_pagesize_version - size in bytes and page layout version number.
 *      pd_prune_xid - oldest XID among potentially prunable tuples on page.
 *
 * The LSN is used by the buffer manager to enforce the basic rule of WAL:
 * "thou shalt write xlog before data".  A dirty buffer cannot be dumped
 * to disk until xlog has been flushed at least as far as the page's LSN.
 *
 * pd_checksum stores the page checksum, if it has been set for this page;
 * zero is a valid value for a checksum. If a checksum is not in use then
 * we leave the field unset. This will typically mean the field is zero
 * though non-zero values may also be present if databases have been
 * pg_upgraded from releases prior to 9.3, when the same byte offset was
 * used to store the current timelineid when the page was last updated.
 * Note that there is no indication on a page as to whether the checksum
 * is valid or not, a deliberate design choice which avoids the problem
 * of relying on the page contents to decide whether to verify it. Hence
 * there are no flag bits relating to checksums.
 *
 * pd_prune_xid is a hint field that helps determine whether pruning will be
 * useful.  It is currently unused in index pages.
 *
 * The page version number and page size are packed together into a single
 * uint16 field.  This is for historical reasons: before PostgreSQL 7.3,
 * there was no concept of a page version number, and doing it this way
 * lets us pretend that pre-7.3 databases have page version number zero.
 * We constrain page sizes to be multiples of 256, leaving the low eight
 * bits available for a version number.
 *
 * Minimum possible page size is perhaps 64B to fit page header, opaque space
 * and a minimal tuple; of course, in reality you want it much bigger, so
 * the constraint on pagesize mod 256 is not an important restriction.
 * On the high end, we can only support pages up to 32KB because lp_off/lp_len
 * are 15 bits.
