Pageinspect bt_metap help

[Neto pr <netopr9@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All

I am using Postgresql extension pageinspect.

Could someone tell me the meaning of these columns: magic, version, root, level, fastroot, fastlevel of the bt_metap function.

This information is not presents in the documentation.

The height of the b-tree (position of node farthest from root to leaf), is the column Level?

See below a return query that I ran on an index called idx_l_shipmodelineitem000

------------------------------------------------------------------

postgres # SELECT * FROM bt_metap ('idx_l_shipmodelineitem000');

postgres # magic  | version  | root     | level | fastroot | fastlevel

postgres # 340322  | 2  | 41827 | 3       | 41827   | 3

Best regards
