hello

try:

postgres=# select oprcode, oprleft::regtype, oprright::regtype from
pg_operator where oprname = '#';
    oprcode    | oprleft  | oprright
---------------+----------+----------
 path_npoints  | -        | path
 box_intersect | box      | box
 poly_npoints  | -        | polygon
 lseg_interpt  | lseg     | lseg
 line_interpt  | line     | line
 bitxor        | bit      | bit
 int2xor       | smallint | smallint
 int4xor       | integer  | integer
 int8xor       | bigint   | bigint
(9 rows)

so this means a xor operation

regards
