[erlang-questions] Implementation of erlang binary module

[Dmytro Lytovchenko]

Standard library rarely uses dynamic loaded SO/DLL modules (so called
NIFs), rather they use BIF functions, code for them is included straight
into Erlang/OTP C source and follows different rules than NIF. Have a
search through source C files for binary_<function name>_<arity>, with high
chance you will find the C source by this name.
