Does PCTFREE applies on the whole block or on the block minus block overhead ?

Say that i have :
- a block size of 8192 bytes

• a block overhead of 92 bytes
• PCTFREE=20

Will reserved free space for updates be ... 8192*0.2
or
(8192-92)*0.2
?

When i read the Oracle Concepts book (8.1.7), it seems to me that it's the first answer but when i read some other articles i'm told it's the 2nd one...

So ?
