Sure. Here's a snippet of C that does this. You might like to check
out the sample SPI programs included with the PostgreSQL source (in
/contrib/spi.)
if (!CurrentTriggerData)
elog(ERROR, "nodeinsert: triggers are not initialized");
if (TRIGGER_FIRED_FOR_STATEMENT(CurrentTriggerData->tg_event))
elog(ERROR, "nodeinsert: can't process STATEMENT events");
if (TRIGGER_FIRED_AFTER(CurrentTriggerData->tg_event))
elog(ERROR, "nodeinsert: must be fired before event");
if (TRIGGER_FIRED_BY_INSERT(CurrentTriggerData->tg_event))
trigger_tuple = CurrentTriggerData->tg_trigtuple;
else if (TRIGGER_FIRED_BY_UPDATE(CurrentTriggerData->tg_event))
/* trigger_tuple = CurrentTriggerData->tg_newtuple; */
elog(ERROR, "nodeinsert: must be fired on INSERT, not UPDATE");
else
elog(ERROR, "nodeinsert: must be fired on INSERT, not DELETE");
