The public interfaces you can pass FILE* to are a stable public API,
but the contents of the pointed-to object, or even whether FILE* is a
real pointer or just some other kind of opaque reference is completely
unspecified and a matter of implementation internals.
I understand.

It's not clear what you want to do.

I want replace in my project  existing sscanf implementation in builtin libc by musl variant. I need understand how works FILE struct and use existing APIs defined in my system libc.

 If you just want to be able to
operate on the underlying file descriptor, you can use fileno() (a
standard public function) to get the fd number and use any of the
standard functions from unistd.h on it. However mixing use of the
stdio functions and direct operations on the fd will cause problems if
you don't observe some rules for switching between them.

musl also has some lightly abstracted functions for accessing normally
hidden parts of the stdio FILE state which were added (somewhat
reluctantly) to meed the needs of gnulib. They're declared in
stdio_ext.h and defined in src/stdio/ext.c and src/stdio/ext2.c. I
would not recommend using them in new programs (they're mainly for
legacy compatibility with gnulib) but if the alternative is poking at
the FILE structure yourself, they would be a better choice.
