Hi,
       For the user created indexes in PostgreSQL 8.3.6, I would like to know which file or function populates the index data structure. Specifically, where in the code is index->tuples and index->pages values are fetched and updated.

Regards and Thanks in Advance,
Srinivas Karthik

8.3 is long out of support. Please move to a modern supported version of 
PostgreSQL.

If that's not an option your best bet is looking for where that data 
structure is used in code, either via grep or something like 
http://doxygen.postgresql.org/index.html (that doesn't appear to support 
anything but HEAD, but I know there's other sites out there that provide 
similar tools for our code.)
