+ This is a B-tree leaf page. All tuples that point to the table
+ happen to be posting list tuples (all of which store a total of
+ 100 6 byte TIDs). There is also a <quote>high key</quote> tuple
+ at <literal>itemoffset</literal> number 1.
+ <structfield>ctid</structfield> is used to store encoded
+ information about each tuple in this example, though leaf page
+ tuples often store a heap TID directly in the
+ <structfield>ctid</structfield> field instead.
+ <structfield>tids</structfield> is the list of TIDs stored as a
+ posting list.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ In an internal page (not shown), the block number part of
+ <structfield>ctid</structfield> is a <quote>downlink</quote>,
+ which is a block number of another page in the index itself.
+ The offset part (the second number) of
+ <structfield>ctid</structfield> stores encoded information about
+ the tuple, such as the number of columns present (suffix
+ truncation may have removed unneeded suffix columns). Truncated
+ columns are treated as having the value <quote>minus
+ infinity</quote>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ <structfield>htid</structfield> shows a heap TID for the tuple,
+ regardless of the underlying tuple representation. This value
+ may match <structfield>ctid</structfield>, or may be decoded
+ from the alternative representations used by posting list tuples
+ and tuples from internal pages. Tuples in internal pages
+ usually have the implementation level heap TID column truncated
+ away, which is represented as a NULL
+ <structfield>htid</structfield> value.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Note that the first item on any non-rightmost page (any page with
+ a non-zero value in the <structfield>btpo_next</structfield> field) is the
+ page's <quote>high key</quote>, meaning its <structfield>data</structfield>
+ serves as an upper bound on all items appearing on the page, while
+ its <structfield>ctid</structfield> field does not point to
+ another block. Also, on internal pages, the first real data
+ item (the first item that is not a high key) reliably has every
+ column truncated away, leaving no actual value in its
+ <structfield>data</structfield> field. Such an item does have a
+ valid downlink in its <structfield>ctid</structfield> field,
+ however.
+ </para>
+ <para>
