From 44ea72d28066103b3d1df9a3e9476f52c56e06cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fujii Masao Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2014 22:52:16 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] Fix documentation oversights about pageinspect and initialization fork. The initialization fork was added in 9.1, but has not been taken into consideration in documents of get_raw_page function in pageinspect and storage layout. This commit fixes those oversights. get_raw_page can read not only a table but also an index, etc. So it should be documented that the function can read any relation. This commit also fixes the document of pageinspect that way. Back-patch to 9.1 where those oversights existed.
