If your namespace is 'public' and your table is 'users', for example:

SELECT attname
FROM pg_namespace, pg_attribute, pg_type, pg_class
WHERE pg_type.oid = atttypid
AND pg_class.oid = attrelid
AND pg_namespace.nspname = 'public'
AND relnamespace = pg_namespace.oid
AND relname = 'users'
AND attnum >= 1;
