Check out 'man libpq' for the PQfname() function...you'll want to do a
'SELECT * from <table> WHERE oid = 0'; which will return zero results, but
will give you the fields to grab using PQfname()

Can't help with the tables though...you'll want to look at 'man catalogs'

Another good place to look is psql.c, which has the various 'SELECT'
statements used in psql for calling up tables and whatnot
