this was probably asked dozens of times before, but I couldn't find where, and 
neither in the docs and what I found on the web didn't make sense. I found how 
to create users and check their permissions using terminal. But I need to alter 
and create users and permissions through libpq or SQL directly. I also found 
there to be a reference on the INFORMATION_SCHEMA, but still couldn't make 
sense out of these tables in the given context. This is to make a user 
administration inside the client frontend. What approach would be recommended 
for this purpose?

SQL commands like...

CREATE USER freddy WITH PASSWORD 'something';
CREATe DATABASE freddb OWNER freddy;

issued same as any other SQL queries, via libpq etc.

note, the INFORMATION_SCHEMA is read only as its all implemented as VIEW's...
