FIY it is internal representation for Elixir and it should not be treated as public API as it can break in any release (even patch)

But if you are 100% sure that it is what you need, then there is Record.extract/2 (https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/Record.html#extract/2)

But for that you will need Elixir source to be available

Thank you for your quick response. Actually, I want to tokenize some code with a cursor like :erl_scan.tokens/4. I have tried that Record.extract/2 function but elixir does not carry that hrl file with itself. So I don't wanna copy that file to my project or something. I am looking for any other ideas actually.
