Thanks.
Since I was just interested in this special case (while the general wasn't
interesting, either) this helped me. Also psql -E is a nice new feature to
me.

|SELECT proname, oidvectortypes(proargtypes)

| proname | oidvectortypes
|---------+-------------------------
| substr | bytea, integer
| substr | text, integer
| substr | bytea, integer, integer
| substr | text, integer, integer
|(4 rows)
|
|Another possibility might be to cast the function's oid to

|
|SELECT oid::regprocedure
|FROM pg_proc
|WHERE proname = 'substr';
| oid
|-------------------------------
| substr(bytea,integer)
| substr(text,integer)
| substr(bytea,integer,integer)
| substr(text,integer,integer)
|(4 rows)
|
