I am not sure what you are asking. I usually use a GUI to tease out that sort of info.
Toad for Mysql is free (windows) has a feature that lists all the Constraints for a table in one view. If you are not on windows Navicat eval has a Mac an Linux version. Haven't used it but others here speak highly of it. Also SQLYog has a community version that might do that as well. (I haven't tried it).
