Reverse-engineering table creation statements

pg_dump --schema-only --schema=SCHEMA --table=TABLE

produces creation script.

Is there a simple way of generating a creation statement for a table without using psql or pgAdmin. Basically I'd like to create what pgAdmin III shows in the SQL pane when you click on a table. MySQL appears to have an equivalent which is SHOW CREATE table [tablename].

Thanks

Thom

Erk... I forgot to mention I don't wish to use command-line tools either. I
would like to submit something as a query in PHP and get back a result with
the creation script in. This is to modify some existing code which is
currently only supporting MySQL.
