I will ask again: where in the code is the asynchronous replication code?  The docs are not detailed/exact enough.

 
> Main question:  I want to understand very precisely the exact algirithm used in PG to do asynchronous streaming replication. Eg, I want to know how the record is written and flushed to the socket and how that happens in time w.r.t WAL-to-disk and response to client. Will someone please give me a head start as to where to begin my code-spelunking?

WAL synced to disc, then everything else is happening.
