RE: Decompile XLIBS on Hp50g or PC
This document has a pretty good description of each object format:
https://www.hpcalc.org/details/1693

Libraries are covered in section 57.9. I think they are the most complicated object by far. As I read that description it's pretty vague. As I recall, a lib contains the objects and lookup structures:
- the hash table maps an object name to a command number.
- The link table maps a command number to the executable object.
- Immediately before the executable object is the name of the command.

Thus the library provides a relatively efficient circular map:
name -> number
number -> object
object -> name
