mysql_field_name equivalent

Is there a PostgreSQL equivalent command to the mysql_field_name command above?

I am running a select query (7.2) and would like to get the name of the columns I am selecting
too, in order to output a header line to an external file, with the result of the select.

Has anyone done this or similar?

Thank you.

Richard Mace
