The pg_waldump manpage says the --save-fullpage output format was TIMELINE-LSN.RELTABLESPACE.DATOID.RELNODE.BLKNOFORK when the filenames actually have the format 00000001-00000000-309A88C0.1663.5.64080.0_main with an underscore in front of FORK. While that is technically correct because it then explains that FORK is something like "_main", I think this is just confusing and moving the underscore into the file name format description is much cleaner. (And inside the rest of the code, the fork names don't have underscore prefixes either.) Christoph
