where can I find doc for pg_buffercache?

Quick question from the newbie.  I read that pg_buffercache can be used to determine how postgres is using memory.

I read it is a ‘contrib’ module.  Where can I find this ‘contrib’ – is it a directory?  We are running Linux redhat and I’m

Testing Postgres 8.2.4 (Soon to be 8.2.5 per Scott M.)

 

Thanks,

The source tree has a /contrib directory.  It is in there.  There is a
README explaining it.
