I'm not sure who is supposed to be able to read this sort of stuff:
Latest checkpoint's NextXID: 0/7575
Latest checkpoint's NextOID: 49152
Latest checkpoint's NextMultiXactId: 7
Latest checkpoint's NextMultiOffset: 13
Latest checkpoint's oldestXID: 1265
Latest checkpoint's oldestXID's DB: 1
Latest checkpoint's oldestActiveXID: 0
Latest checkpoint's oldestMultiXid: 1
Latest checkpoint's oldestMulti's DB: 1
Note that these symbols don't even correspond to the actual symbols used
in the source code in some cases.
The comments in the pg_control.h header file use much more pleasant
terms, which when put to use would lead to output similar to this:
Latest checkpoint's next free transaction ID: 0/7575
Latest checkpoint's next free OID: 49152
Latest checkpoint's next free MultiXactId: 7
Latest checkpoint's next free MultiXact offset: 13
Latest checkpoint's cluster-wide minimum datfrozenxid: 1265
Latest checkpoint's database with cluster-wide minimum datfrozenxid: 1
Latest checkpoint's oldest transaction ID still running: 0
Latest checkpoint's cluster-wide minimum datminmxid: 1
Latest checkpoint's database with cluster-wide minimum datminmxid: 1
One could even rearrange the layout a little bit like this:
Control data as of latest checkpoint: next free transaction ID: 0/7575 next free OID:
49152
etc.
