+    The <code class="type">pg_lsn</code> data type can be used to store LSN (Log Sequence
+    Number) data which is a pointer to a location in the WAL. This type is a
+    representation of <code class="type">XLogRecPtr</code> and an internal system type of
+    <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>.
+   </p><p>
+    Internally, an LSN is a 64-bit integer, representing a byte position in
+    the write-ahead log stream.  It is printed as two hexadecimal numbers of
+    up to 8 digits each, separated by a slash; for example,
+    <code class="literal">16/B374D848</code>.  The <code class="type">pg_lsn</code> type supports the
+    standard comparison operators, like <code class="literal">=</code> and
+    <code class="literal">&gt;</code>.  Two LSNs can be subtracted using the
+    <code class="literal">-</code> operator; the result is the number of bytes separating
+    those write-ahead log locations.  Also the number of bytes can be
+    added into and subtracted from LSN using the
+    <code class="literal">+(pg_lsn,numeric)</code> and
+    <code class="literal">-(pg_lsn,numeric)</code> operators, respectively. Note that
+    the calculated LSN should be in the range of <code class="type">pg_lsn</code> type,
+    i.e., between <code class="literal">0/0</code> and
+    <code class="literal">FFFFFFFF/FFFFFFFF</code>.
