Define variable conninfo with the query in ~/.psqlrc:

\set conninfo 'select * from (values (''database'', current_database()), (''user'', session_user), (''host'', coalesce(inet_server_addr()::text, current_setting(''unix_socket_directories''))), (''port'', coalesce(inet_server_port()::text, current_setting(''port'')))) t(keyword, value);'

And run it like that:

postgres=# :conninfo
keyword | value
----------+-----------------
database | postgres
user | ewie
host | /run/postgresql
port | 5432
(4 rows)
