Right now there's no such accessor. One possibility would be to
generalize the "--full" option to restrict, which is currently
available only for VECMs. This replaces the "last model" with the
restricted estimates, so that the $coeff accessor can be used.

At present if you want to get the restricted estimates from OLS
programmatically you'd have to use gretl's string-handling
functions (which would get you the coefficients to 6 significant
digits), as in:

<script>
open data4-1
ols 1 0 2 3 4
outfile restrict.txt --write
restrict
  b3 - b4 = 0
end restrict
outfile --close
string s = readfile("restrict.txt")
matrix b = zeros(4,1)
scalar bi
loop i=1..4 -q
  if (i == 1)
    s = strstr(s, "const")
  else
    s = strstr(s, "\n") + 3
  endif
  s = strstr(s, " ")
  sscanf(s, "%lf", &bi)
  b[i] = bi
endloop
printf "\n%10.6g\n", b
</script>
