Thread: command to Describe RULE

I create a table (addresses) & its "historification".
When an address is modified, it's moved to the historification which is
basically a copy on "update" or "delete".
I seem to have a proble & I wanna find the RULE I created to alter them.
What command should I issue for that.
I seem to not be able to find any \d command for that ...
Could some one hint me ?

Tx,

Thomas,
