22 * Data about a currently-open large object.
24 * id is the logical OID of the large object
25 * snapshot is the snapshot to use for read/write operations
26 * subid is the subtransaction that opened the desc (or currently owns it)
27 * offset is the current seek offset within the LO
28 * flags contains some flag bits
30 * NOTE: as of v11, permission checks are made when the large object is
31 * opened; therefore IFS_RDLOCK/IFS_WRLOCK indicate that read or write mode
32 * has been requested *and* the corresponding permission has been checked.
34 * NOTE: before 7.1, we also had to store references to the separate table
35 * and index of a specific large object. Now they all live in pg_largeobject
36 * and are accessed via a common relation descriptor.

55 * Each "page" (tuple) of a large object can hold this much data
57 * We could set this as high as BLCKSZ less some overhead, but it seems
58 * better to make it a smaller value, so that not as much space is used
59 * up when a page-tuple is updated. Note that the value is deliberately
60 * chosen large enough to trigger the tuple toaster, so that we will
61 * attempt to compress page tuples in-line. (But they won't be moved off
62 * unless the user creates a toast-table for pg_largeobject...)
64 * Also, it seems to be a smart move to make the page size be a power of 2,
65 * since clients will often be written to send data in power-of-2 blocks.
66 * This avoids unnecessary tuple updates caused by partial-page writes.
68 * NB: Changing LOBLKSIZE requires an initdb.
