/*
 * ItemPointer:
 *
 * This is a pointer to an item within a disk page of a known file
 * (for example, a cross-link from an index to its parent table).
 * blkid tells us which block, posid tells us which entry in the linp
 * (ItemIdData) array we want.
 *
 * Note: because there is an item pointer in each tuple header and index
 * tuple header on disk, it's very important not to waste space with
 * structure padding bytes.  The struct is designed to be six bytes long
 * (it contains three int16 fields) but a few compilers will pad it to
 * eight bytes unless coerced.	We apply appropriate persuasion where
 * possible, and to cope with unpersuadable compilers, we try to use
 * "SizeOfIptrData" rather than "sizeof(ItemPointerData)" when computing
 * on-disk sizes.
