Peter Eisentraut f18aa1b203 pageinspect: Change block number arguments to bigint
Block numbers are 32-bit unsigned integers.  Therefore, the smallest
SQL integer type that they can fit in is bigint.  However, in the
pageinspect module, most input and output parameters dealing with
block numbers were declared as int.  The behavior with block numbers
larger than a signed 32-bit integer was therefore dubious.  Change
these arguments to type bigint and add some more explicit error
checking on the block range.

(Other contrib modules appear to do this correctly already.)

Since we are changing argument types of existing functions, in order
to not misbehave if the binary is updated before the extension is
updated, we need to create new C symbols for the entry points, similar
to how it's done in other extensions as well.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
