/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * clog.c
 *		PostgreSQL transaction-commit-log manager
 *
 * This module replaces the old "pg_log" access code, which treated pg_log
 * essentially like a relation, in that it went through the regular buffer
 * manager.  The problem with that was that there wasn't any good way to
 * recycle storage space for transactions so old that they'll never be
 * looked up again.  Now we use specialized access code so that the commit
 * log can be broken into relatively small, independent segments.
 *
 * XLOG interactions: this module generates an XLOG record whenever a new
 * CLOG page is initialized to zeroes.	Other writes of CLOG come from
 * recording of transaction commit or abort in xact.c, which generates its
 * own XLOG records for these events and will re-perform the status update
 * on redo; so we need make no additional XLOG entry here.	Also, the XLOG
 * is guaranteed flushed through the XLOG commit record before we are called
 * to log a commit, so the WAL rule "write xlog before data" is satisfied
 * automatically for commits, and we don't really care for aborts.  Therefore,
 * we don't need to mark CLOG pages with LSN information; we have enough
 * synchronization already.
