You should access node.args (an Arguments) node, as seen below:

from astroid.test_utils import extract_node
n = extract_node('''
def test(a, *args, b=None, **kwargs):
   pass
''')
print(n.args.args, n.args.kwonlyargs, n.args.vararg, n.args.kwarg)

Do you mean the equivalent of type(function) from Python?
You can try the new astroid.helpers.object_type from soon-to-be astroid 1.4:
