Hello,
I was unable to find how to get column names, sizes and types for a given
composite type.

Example. For a type defines as:
  CREATE TYPE inventory_item AS (
  name text,
  supplier_id integer,
  price numeric
);

I have a plpgsql stored proc that returns SETOF inventory_item (i.e. there
is no table with a column of this type).

I looked into the pg_type table but it only contains oid and typrelid for
the inventory_item type. I need a query that returns information about
structure of the composite type, i.e.:
  ColumnName  |  ColumnType  |  ColumnSize
  name             | text                | -1
  supplier_id      | integer           | 4
  price              | numeric          | 16

Is this possible? I'm executing queries via libpq...

Thank you!
