Calculation of Database Size in postgres

Hi all,

In postgres for knowing the size of a database we generally use the system
administration function "pg_database_size('database_name')".

I am curious to know how does this calculate internally from the pages(free
pages/fragmented pages/full pages) stored in the disk?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Pavan
