Is there any documentation on the output from pg_controldata? Most of it
seems intuitive but I would like something definitive on the following
lines:

Latest checkpoint location: 2F9/B38DE758
Prior checkpoint location: 2F9/A3F688F8
Latest checkpoint's REDO location: 2F9/B38DE758
Latest checkpoint's UNDO location: 0/0

Especially, how do I relate this to the file names in the pg_xlog directory.

Thanks ...

Andy
