I'm assuming the above came from using \dx in psql.

One quick and dirty way I know is:

test=# begin ;
BEGIN
test=# drop extension plpgsql ;
ERROR:  cannot drop extension plpgsql because other objects depend on it
DETAIL:  function upgrade_serial_to_identity(regclass,name) depends on 
language plpgsql
function fizzbuzz(integer,integer) depends on language plpgsql
function child_fnc() depends on language plpgsql
function child_fnc(character varying) depends on language plpgsql
function parent_fnc() depends on language plpgsql

...

rollback;
