/*----------
 * Data about a currently-open large object.
 *
 * id is the logical OID of the large object
 * snapshot is the snapshot to use for read/write operations
 * subid is the subtransaction that opened the desc (or currently owns it)
 * offset is the current seek offset within the LO
 * flags contains some flag bits
 *
 * NOTE: as of v11, permission checks are made when the large object is
 * opened; therefore IFS_RDLOCK/IFS_WRLOCK indicate that read or write mode
 * has been requested *and* the corresponding permission has been checked.
 *
 * NOTE: before 7.1, we also had to store references to the separate table
 * and index of a specific large object.  Now they all live in pg_largeobject
 * and are accessed via a common relation descriptor.

 * Each "page" (tuple) of a large object can hold this much data
 *
 * We could set this as high as BLCKSZ less some overhead, but it seems
 * better to make it a smaller value, so that not as much space is used
 * up when a page-tuple is updated.  Note that the value is deliberately
 * chosen large enough to trigger the tuple toaster, so that we will
 * attempt to compress page tuples in-line.  (But they won't be moved off
 * unless the user creates a toast-table for pg_largeobject...)
 *
 * Also, it seems to be a smart move to make the page size be a power of 2,
 * since clients will often be written to send data in power-of-2 blocks.
 * This avoids unnecessary tuple updates caused by partial-page writes.
 *
 * NB: Changing LOBLKSIZE requires an initdb.
