+ <title>Description</title>
+ <para>
+ <application>pg_walsummary</application> is used to print the contents of
+ WAL summary files. These binary files are found with the
+ <literal>pg_wal/summaries</literal> subdirectory of the data directory,
+ and can be converted to text using this tool. This is not ordinarily
+ necessary, since WAL summary files primarily exist to support
+ <link linkend="backup-incremental-backup">incremental backup</link>,
+ but it may be useful for debugging purposes.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ A WAL summary file is indexed by tablespace OID, relation OID, and relation
+ fork. For each relation fork, it stores the list of blocks that were
+ modified by WAL within the range summarized in the file. It can also
+ store a "limit block," which is 0 if the relation fork was created or
+ truncated within the relevant WAL range, and otherwise the shortest length
+ to which the relation fork was truncated. If the relation fork was not
+ created, deleted, or truncated within the relevant WAL range, the limit
+ block is undefined or infinite and will not be printed by this tool.

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ By default, <literal>pg_walsummary</literal> prints one line of output
+ for each range of one or more consecutive modified blocks. This can
+ make the output a lot briefer, since a relation where all blocks from
+ 0 through 999 were modified will produce only one line of output rather
+ than 1000 separate lines. This option requests a separate line of
+ output for every modified block.
