Generally speaking, per MVCC rules, transactions can only see other
transactions if they completed.  It is up to the application to manage
what to do when a transaction fails.

There are internal C APIs (see: transam.c) to query transaction
success through the clog system but I'm suspicious that this is the
wrong line of thinking for you.  Stepping back, what are you trying to
do?
