I know that on my Mac the tables are kept in the data directory

go there I see that internally the tables have numbers. Somewhere in
the system there must be a table that maps the name I gave to table X
to the numerical inside the database.
Where is that mapping and how can I query it? On what page of the
documentation do I find the answer?
Dear Prof. Mueller,
This question strikes Postgres people a bit like your teenager asking
where you keep the tallest ladder. There aren't many practical uses for
accessing these files directly, and if you do it's likely to break your
database. Could you speak a bit more about your goal here? Perhaps
someone can suggest a good way to achieve it.
Yours,
