Perhaps you are talking about the external Core interface. Documentation
for that is here:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/ext-core.html
Also, there are many -ddump-xxx options, that can give you very useful
information, at any level of the compiler. Info for that is here:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/flag-reference.html#AEN6775
Cheers,
Don
