Thread: How can I retrieve an info about function arguments ?

Hello All
Consider a function:
create function f(varchar(10), decimal(10,1)) returns integer as 'select 1;'
language sql;
I need to retreive full set of info about argument and return types (for
variable length too).
How I can get it from system catalog ?
For tables columns I can gen an info from pg_attribute table. But in case of
function no entry are present there.
pg_proc has no info about length of variable length types.

test_db=>\df+ my_func
will serve your need :(

pg_proc.pronargs    -- count of arguments
pg_proc.proargtypes -- oid(s) of pg_type for appropriate arguments
