  The <code class="filename">pageinspect</code> module provides functions that allow you to
  inspect the contents of database pages at a low level, which is useful for
  debugging purposes.  All of these functions may be used only by superusers.

      <code class="function">get_raw_page</code> reads the specified block of the named

      single time-consistent copy of the block to be obtained.
      <em class="replaceable"><code>fork</code></em> should be <code class="literal">'main'</code> for
      the main data fork, <code class="literal">'fsm'</code> for the free space map,

      <code class="function">page_header</code> shows fields that are common to all
      <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> heap and index pages.
     </p><p>
      A page image obtained with <code class="function">get_raw_page</code> should be
      passed as argument.  For example:
</p><pre class="screen">

      The returned columns correspond to the fields in the
      <code class="structname">PageHeaderData</code> struct.
      See <code class="filename">src/include/storage/bufpage.h</code> for details.
     </p><p>
      The <code class="structfield">checksum</code> field is the checksum stored in
      the page, which might be incorrect if the page is somehow corrupted.  If
      data checksums are not enabled for this instance, then the value stored
      is meaningless.

      <code class="function">page_checksum</code> computes the checksum for the page, as if
      it was located at the given block.
     </p><p>
      A page image obtained with <code class="function">get_raw_page</code> should be
      passed as argument.  For example:

</pre><p>
      Note that the checksum depends on the block number, so matching block
      numbers should be passed (except when doing esoteric debugging).
     </p><p>
      The checksum computed with this function can be compared with
      the <code class="structfield">checksum</code> result field of the
      function <code class="function">page_header</code>.  If data checksums are
      enabled for this instance, then the two values should be equal.

</p><pre class="screen">

</pre><p>
      The output is a multiline string, with one line per node in the binary

      The so-called "next" pointer, which points to the next slot to be
      returned from the page, is also printed.

      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 <span class="quote"><span class="quote">high key</span></span> tuple
      at <code class="literal">itemoffset</code> number 1.
      <code class="structfield">ctid</code> is used to store encoded
      information about each tuple in this example, though leaf page
      tuples often store a heap TID directly in the
      <code class="structfield">ctid</code> field instead.
      <code class="structfield">tids</code> is the list of TIDs stored as a
      posting list.
     </p><p>
      In an internal page (not shown), the block number part of
      <code class="structfield">ctid</code> is a <span class="quote"><span class="quote">downlink</span></span>,
      which is a block number of another page in the index itself.
      The offset part (the second number) of
      <code class="structfield">ctid</code> 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 <span class="quote"><span class="quote">minus
       infinity</span></span>.
     </p><p>
      <code class="structfield">htid</code> shows a heap TID for the tuple,
      regardless of the underlying tuple representation.  This value
      may match <code class="structfield">ctid</code>, 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
      <code class="structfield">htid</code> value.
     </p><p>
      Note that the first item on any non-rightmost page (any page with
      a non-zero value in the <code class="structfield">btpo_next</code> field) is the
      page's <span class="quote"><span class="quote">high key</span></span>, meaning its <code class="structfield">data</code>
      serves as an upper bound on all items appearing on the page, while
      its <code class="structfield">ctid</code> 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
      <code class="structfield">data</code> field.  Such an item does have a
      valid downlink in its <code class="structfield">ctid</code> field,
      however.
     </p><p>
