Sorry, I did not get you.

My current \d+ is

postgres=# \d+ busbar_version6;
                                Table "test.busbar_version6"
  Column  |  Type   | Collation | Nullable | Default | Storage | Stats
target |
Description
----------+---------+-----------+----------+---------+---------+--------------+-
------------
 objectid | integer |           |          |         | plain   |
   |
 ver_id   | integer |           |          |         | plain   |
   |
Partition of: busbar_version FOR VALUES WITH (modulus 10, remainder 6)
Partition constraint: satisfies_hash_partition('16397'::oid, 10, 6, ver_id)
Access method: heap
