I have not used partitioned tables enough, but it would seem this is
covered here:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/sql-select.html

table_name

     The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing table or
view. If ONLY is specified before the table name, only that table is
scanned. If ONLY is not specified, the table and all its descendant
tables (if any) are scanned. < ***>Optionally, * can be specified after
the table name to explicitly indicate that descendant tables are
included.<***>
