You are right Adrian, I did not search properly I found the header file here:

sf@toro:/opt3/dbs/pgs/17.4$ ls -l include/postgresql/server/catalog/pg_type_d.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 sf sf 9672 Mar 13 17:05 include/postgresql/server/catalog/pg_type_d.h

I was not expecting this file to be in a "server" folder, when it's to be used for client apps.

And still, I do not trust the content.

Seb
