[Documentation] Where do I find a list of primitives implemented by the Squeak VM / Pharo VM?

Hello

Where do I find a list of primitives implemented by the Squeak VM / Pharo VM?

I assume most of the primitives are the same.

I found some pages [1] and [2] related to primitives on the Swiki.

What I am looking for is an updated

'List of primitives of the Squeak VM'

It might just contain a reference to a source file in a repo.

It should answer for example: 'what does primitive 121 implement?'

Regards

Hannes

[1] Which methods use primitives?
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/367

SystemNavigation new browseAllSelect:
[:method | method primitive > 0
and:
[(method primitive between: 256 and: 519)
not]]

[2] Graphics-Primitive

For the Cog VMs the Bible (actually the implementation) is StackInterpreter class>>#initializePrimitiveTable in the VMMaker.oscog package in source.squeak.org/VMMaker. It would be great to add a method to the package that generates the Swiki page instead of having to write it manually.
