Are the internals of the Kotlin/Native compiler documented anywhere? Specifically the .knt, .knb, .knf, .knd and .knm formats which are produced when running -p library .

beyond https://kotlinlang.org/docs/native-libraries.html#library-format ?

I don't believe so, they're collections of IR structures directly serialized to disk

[ephemient]

kotlinx.metadata should be able to load them, though: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/tree/master/libraries/kotlinx-metadata

I was indeed looking for the IR structures on disk. I'll see if I can use kotlinx.metadata for this. Thank you!
