+ The <code class="filename">pg_walinspect</code> module provides SQL functions that
+ allow you to inspect the contents of write-ahead log of
+ a running <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> database cluster at a low
+ level, which is useful for debugging, analytical, reporting or
+ educational purposes. It is similar to <a class="xref" href="pgwaldump.html" title="pg_waldump"><span class="refentrytitle"><span class="application">pg_waldump</span></span></a>, but
+ accessible through SQL rather than a separate utility.
+ </p><p>
+ All the functions of this module will provide the WAL information using the
+ current server's timeline ID.
+ </p><p>
+ All the functions of this module will try to find the first valid WAL record
+ that is at or after the given <em class="replaceable"><code>in_lsn</code></em> or
+ <em class="replaceable"><code>start_lsn</code></em> and will emit error if no such record
+ is available. Similarly, the <em class="replaceable"><code>end_lsn</code></em> must be
+ available, and if it falls in the middle of a record, the entire record must
+ be available.
+ </p><div class="note"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
+ Some functions, such as <code class="function"><a class="link" href="functions-admin.html#PG-LOGICAL-EMIT-MESSAGE">pg_logical_emit_message</a></code>,
+ return the LSN <span class="emphasis"><em>after</em></span> the record just
+ inserted. Therefore, if you pass that LSN as
+ <em class="replaceable"><code>in_lsn</code></em> or <em class="replaceable"><code>start_lsn</code></em>
+ to one of these functions, it will return the <span class="emphasis"><em>next</em></span>
+ record.
+ </p></div><p>
+ By default, use of these functions is restricted to superusers and members of
+ the <code class="literal">pg_read_server_files</code> role. Access may be granted by
+ superusers to others using <code class="command">GRANT</code>.

+ Gets WAL record information of a given LSN. If the given LSN isn't
+ at the start of a WAL record, it gives the information of the next
+ available valid WAL record; or an error if no such record is found.

+ follows:
+</p><pre class="screen">
