Return cursor

I am porting our database from Oracle to PostgreSQL

I know quite a lot about Oracle and pretty much nothing about
PostgreSQL :-))

I have a lot of stored procedures in Oracle that return result sets or
cursor. All I have to do there is open a cursor and calling
application can just fetch it

Is there anyway to do the same thing in PostgreSQL?

Please, help. So far I could not find anything

Thanks a lot in advance for any help you can provide
