Function pointer_head 

Source
pub fn pointer_head(stored: &[u8]) -> Option<u32>
Expand description

Return the head overflow page id when stored represents a pointer cell, else None. Returns None for inline (raw or compressed) cells and for empty/malformed cells. Callers use this from the B-tree delete and shrinking-update paths (slice F of PRD #662) to free the chain before the leaf cell goes away.
