    1919The contents of an interface file is the result of serialising the '''{{{IfaceSyn}}}''' family of data types.  The data types are in [[GhcFile(compiler/iface/IfaceSyn.lhs)]] and [[GhcFile(compiler/iface/IfaceType.lhs)]]; the binary serialisation code is in [[GhcFile(compiler/iface/BinIface.hs)]]. The definition of a module interface is the '''{{{ModIface}}}''' data type in [[GhcFile(compiler/main/HscTypes.lhs)]].
