OK.  So the command format could be

  FTYPINFO <field> <option>

as I already suggested.  As for the return values, I think we will cope
with basically two situations: A single one-line return value or a list
of one-line return values.  So the response should be in correspondence
with the description of the 3xx responses in the gnatsd command
protocol, distinguishing the two cases by return codes.

I think that for now it would be sufficient to modify your FSEP patch.
A test for <option> depending on the field type should be added.  IMHO
we needn't add now more than the support for the `separators' option of
multi-enum fields.

Would you like to do it?
