commit    b8eaa7b2a67c9f9f6730376056903feb3da58293
Author:   Fujii Masao <fujii@postgresql.org>
Date:     Mon Aug 11 13:52:16 2014 +0000
First released in: 9.5.0, 9.1.15, 9.2.10, 9.3.6, 9.4.0

    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.
