<p>DFHack uses information about the game data structures, represented via xml files in the library/xml/ submodule.</p>
<p>Data structure layouts are described in files following the df.*.xml name pattern. This information is transformed by a perl script into C++ headers describing the structures, and associated metadata for the Lua wrapper. These headers and data are then compiled into the DFHack libraries, thus necessitating a compatibility break every time layouts change; in return it significantly boosts the efficiency and capabilities of DFHack code.</p>
<p>Global object addresses are stored in symbols.xml, which is copied to the dfhack release package and loaded as data at runtime.</p>
<p>DFHack supports remote access by exchanging Google protobuf messages via a TCP socket. Both the core and plugins can define remotely accessible methods. The <ttclass="docutils literal"><spanclass="pre">dfhack-run</span></tt> command uses this interface to invoke ordinary console commands.</p>
<p>Currently the supported set of requests is limited, because the developers don't know what exactly is most useful.</p>
