following is taken from postgresql-7.3.2/src/backend/storage/lmgr/readme:

"If we are setting a table level lock
	both the blockId and tupleId (in an item pointer this is called
	the position) are set to invalid, if it is a page level lock the
	blockId is valid, while the tupleId is still invalid.  Finally if
	this is a tuple level lock (we currently never do this) then both
	the blockId and tupleId are set to valid specifications.  "

how do we check whether blockId and tupleId of LOCK.tag are valid or 
invalid?
is blockId same as tag.objId.blkno?  what field in LOCK.tag is tupleId?
thanks
jenny
