what is postgres equivalent to mysql SHOW

I have a query that shows the tables in a MySQL database--------
STblquery= "SHOW tables like '%lkp%'";
result = pg_exec(STblquery,
connection);
--------
This lists all the lookup tables.
We have recently migrated to a postgresql db so need to know the
postgresql equivalent to SHOW.

thanks in advance.
