For above use \ef in psql. See here for more details:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/app-psql.html

You can save the file outside the database if needed.

Keep the functions in separate files. Do either:

psql -d some_database -U some_user -f function_file.sql

or from within psql

\i some/path/to_file/function_file.sql
