How to retrieve constructor・instance initializer・static initializer as methods?

As far as I understood, constructors, instance initializers and static initializers are just methods with special names. I know that < and > are illegal characters for ordinary identifiers.



How can I retrieve these special methods as Method objects and call them? You might take a look at this code snippet I wrote:

public class Program {
    /**
     * static <init>() {
     * }
     */
    static {
    }

    /**
     * <init>() {
     * }
     */
    {
    }

    /**
     * <cinit>() {
     * }
     */
    Program(){
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws ReflectiveOperationException {
        //get native getDeclaredMethods method
        Method Class$getDeclaredMethods0 = Class.class.getDeclaredMethod("getDeclaredMethods0", boolean.class);
        Class$getDeclaredMethods0.setAccessible(true);

        //list methods of this class
        Method[] methods = (Method[])Class$getDeclaredMethods0.invoke(Program.class, false);
        for (Method m : methods) {
            System.out.println(m);
        }

        //Console output:
        /*
        public static void dirty.Program.main(java.lang.String[]) throws java.lang.ReflectiveOperationException

         */
    }
}
