more of a pg-users question, but since we've got a partial answer here,
might as well complete it. Try psql -E, then \d sometable to see the
commands psql issues to generate its display.

If you just want the definition,in psql type \d tablename.
To dump ddl the pg_dump with proper arguments can dump just the ddl of a 
single table. (see pg_dump --help)


I'm not aware of a command or function that returns it though.
