The first 24 bytes of each page consists of a page header
(PageHeaderData). Its format is detailed in <xref
linkend="pageheaderdata-table">. The first two fields track the most
recent WAL entry related to this page. Next is a 2-byte field
containing flag bits. This is followed by three 2-byte integer fields
(<structfield>pd_lower</structfield>, <structfield>pd_upper</structfield>,
and <structfield>pd_special</structfield>). These contain byte offsets
from the page start to the start
of unallocated space, to the end of unallocated space, and to the start of
the special space.
The next 2 bytes of the page header,

and a version indicator. Beginning with
