system catalog and varchar datatype

hi, I need to find out the length of a varchar attribute ..

for example,if a I have an atribute "description varchar(256)" I would
expect to see this "256" in the pg_attribute table.

there's is an "attlen" In the pg_attribute but this doesn't give any
information

thanks in advance.
