So you want to get information from a user created type.
So you have two options:
1) Add a comment to the type:
COMMENT ON TYPE test is 'create type test AS (a int , b int)';

test=> \dT
List of data types
Schema | Name | Description
--------+---------+-------------------------------------
public | ghstore |
public | hstore |
public | test | create type test AS (a int , b int)

2) Get the information from the pg_type system catalog.

test=> SELECT * from pg_type where typname='test';

I am not showing the output because it does not display well.

For more information on what is being returned take a look at:
