\df *justify*
List of functions
Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types | Type
------------+------------------+------------------+---------------------+------
pg_catalog | justify_days | interval | interval | func
pg_catalog | justify_hours | interval | interval | func
pg_catalog | justify_interval | interval | interval | func
