Hammer & Screwdriver Cannot find logical file format for BSD file headers.

Hi. Unix rookie here. Been looking for a few days for reference documents on how BSD UNIX lays the logical file format onto a disk. Goal is to view/edit with hex editor for data repair. Lots of docs are available for how to use Unix commands (like xxd), but I want to learn the map of how Unix stores the file header and file data and cluster information on the hard disk. I've asked on a few forums and emailed companies (like R-tt regarding R-Studio for Mac) and have no answer yet. Anyone know where I can read about this?
