At the very end of the file, like the following but on db/revs/4/4422: % strings db/revs/0/1 | tail -1 417 b4657c89ff644471b6760fd6389d253c 445 ea755737e485eeb03c0012e5d6bc1b49I % < r/db/revs/0/1 xxd -s 417 -l 9 000001a1: 4c32 502d 494e 4445 58 L2P-INDEX % < r/db/revs/0/1 xxd -s 445 -l 9 000001bd: 5032 4c2d 494e 4445 58 P2L-INDEX % (The first command might pick up some of the P2L/L2P data too?
