How does Postgres detect corruption of index data files ? What is the exact mechanism by which it knows that the index is corrupt ? Can it happen that part of the index is corrupt but Postgres does not realize because those specific rows are not accessed (but other rows from that table are accessed)

Thanks for any inputs.
