Specifies the amount of shared memory to use to cache the contents of pg_xact (see pgdata-contents-table). If this value is specified without units, it is taken as blocks, that is BLCKSZ bytes, typically 8kB. The default value is 0, which requests shared_buffers/512 up to 1024 blocks, but not fewer than 16 blocks. This parameter can only be set at server start.
