table dump function

I need a pl/pgsql function that will dump a table ddl  so I can export the definition to a file  before I drop the object.

the psql \d command won’t work, since it doesn’t dump the table ddl, it just lists the table’s attributes and indexes.

I’ve got the function mostly working,  but need help translating the ACL list into the grant commands.

Are there any standard PG functions that would be useful  for creating the grants?

Thanks in advance.
