it can looks like that

create or replace function foo(a int)
returns int as $$
declare s text; n text; o oid;
begin
  get diagnostics s = pg_current_routine_signature,
                  n = pg_current_routine_name,
                  o = pg_current_routine_oid;
  raise notice 'sign:%,  name:%,  oid:%', s, n, o;
  return a;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
(2023-02-08 09:04:03) postgres=# select foo(10);
NOTICE:  sign:foo(integer),  name:foo,  oid:16392
┌─────┐
│ foo │
╞═════╡
│  10 │
└─────┘
(1 row)

The name - pg_routine_oid can be confusing, because there is not clean if
it is oid of currently executed routine or routine from top of exception
