+ When a <code class="structfield">CustomScan</code> is executed, its execution state is
+ represented by a <code class="structfield">CustomScanState</code>, which is declared as
+ follows:
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+typedef struct CustomScanState
+{
+ ScanState ss;
+ uint32 flags;
+ const CustomExecMethods *methods;
+} CustomScanState;
+</pre><p>
+ </p><p>
+ <code class="structfield">ss</code> is initialized as for any other scan state,
+ except that if the scan is for a join rather than a base relation,
+ <code class="literal">ss.ss_currentRelation</code> is left NULL.
+ <code class="structfield">flags</code> is a bit mask with the same meaning as in
+ <code class="structname">CustomPath</code> and <code class="structname">CustomScan</code>.
+ <code class="structfield">methods</code> must point to a (usually statically allocated)
+ object implementing the required custom scan state methods, which are
+ further detailed below. Typically, a <code class="structname">CustomScanState</code>, which
+ need not support <code class="function">copyObject</code>, will actually be a larger
+ structure embedding the above as its first member.

+ Save the current scan position so that it can subsequently be restored

+</p><pre class="programlisting">

+</pre><p>
+ Estimate the amount of dynamic shared memory that will be required
+ for parallel operation. This may be higher than the amount that will
+ actually be used, but it must not be lower. The return value is in bytes.

+ Initialize the dynamic shared memory that will be required for parallel

+</p><pre class="programlisting">

+ Re-initialize the dynamic shared memory required for parallel operation
+ when the custom-scan plan node is about to be re-scanned.
+ This callback is optional, and need only be supplied if this custom
+ scan provider supports parallel execution.
+ Recommended practice is that this callback reset only shared state,
+ while the <code class="function">ReScanCustomScan</code> callback resets only local
+ state. Currently, this callback will be called
+ before <code class="function">ReScanCustomScan</code>, but it's best not to rely on

+ set up by the leader during <code class="function">InitializeDSMCustomScan</code>.
+ This callback is optional, and need only be supplied if this custom
+ scan provider supports parallel execution.
+ </p><p>
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+void (*ShutdownCustomScan) (CustomScanState *node);
+</pre><p>
+ Release resources when it is anticipated the node will not be executed
+ to completion. This is not called in all cases; sometimes,
+ <code class="literal">EndCustomScan</code> may be called without this function having
+ been called first. Since the DSM segment used by parallel query is
+ destroyed just after this callback is invoked, custom scan providers that
+ wish to take some action before the DSM segment goes away should implement
+ this method.

+</p><pre class="programlisting">

+ List *ancestors,
+ ExplainState *es);
+</pre><p>
+ Output additional information for <code class="command">EXPLAIN</code> of a custom-scan
+ plan node. This callback is optional. Common data stored in the
+ <code class="structname">ScanState</code>, such as the target list and scan relation, will
+ be shown even without this callback, but the callback allows the display
+ of additional, private state.
