pgAdmin3 is a bit complex for me, bot on vanilla psql you can use the switch:
>>>
-E
--echo-hidden

Echo the actual queries generated by \d and other backslash commands.
You can use this to study psql's internal operations. This is
equivalent to setting the variable ECHO_HIDDEN to on.

to learn how it does them, and elaborate from there, Its a nice
resource ( although I fear its queries evolve with versions, but you
can always port them touse the information_schema (
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/information-schema.html )
which should be a little more stable.
