   The object which describes a WAL range always has three keys:
  </p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">Timeline</code></span></dt><dd><p>
      The timeline for this range of WAL records, as an integer.
     </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">Start-LSN</code></span></dt><dd><p>
      The LSN at which replay must begin on the indicated timeline in order to
      make use of this backup.  The LSN is stored in the format normally used
      by <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>; that is, it is a string
      consisting of two strings of hexadecimal characters, each with a length
      of between 1 and 8, separated by a slash.
     </p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="literal">End-LSN</code></span></dt><dd><p>
      The earliest LSN at which replay on the indicated timeline may end when
      making use of this backup. This is stored in the same format as
      <code class="literal">Start-LSN</code>.
     </p></dd></dl></div><p>
   Ordinarily, there will be only a single WAL range. However, if a backup is
   taken from a standby which switches timelines during the backup due to an
   upstream promotion, it is possible for multiple ranges to be present, each
   with a different timeline. There will never be multiple WAL ranges present
   for the same timeline.
