GHC has a "--show-iface" option which pretty prints the ".hi" file. Not
sure if it works for your use-case but it may be easier to parse the text displayed by this option.
From https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/IfaceFiles --
This textual format is not particularly designed for machine parsing. Doing so might be possible, but if you want to read GHC interface files you are almost certainly better off using the GHC API https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/API to do so.
That's the reason why I started investigating the GHC API. -- Saurabh.
