The system catalogs are in the manual appendix. However, for what
your looking for, type

\df pg_get*

in psql and you see a listing of available functions that'll give you
just what you're looking for and are documented in Section 9.19 of
the manual (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/functions-
info.html).
