391|perlapi - autogenerated documentation for the perl public API
392|
393|=head1 DESCRIPTION
394|X<Perl API> X<API> X<api>
395|
396|This file contains the documentation of the perl public API generated by
397|F<embed.pl>, specifically a listing of functions, macros, flags, and variables
398|that may be used by extension writers. L<At the end|/Undocumented functions>
399|is a list of functions which have yet to be documented. The interfaces of
400|those are subject to change without notice. Anything not listed here is
401|not part of the public API, and should not be used by extension writers at
402|all. For these reasons, blindly using functions listed in proto.h is to be
403|avoided when writing extensions.
404|
405|In Perl, unlike C, a string of characters may generally contain embedded
406|C<NUL> characters. Sometimes in the documentation a Perl string is referred
407|to as a "buffer" to distinguish it from a C string, but sometimes they are
408|both just referred to as strings.
409|
410|Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the C<PL_>
411|prefix. Again, those not listed here are not to be used by extension writers,
412|and can be changed or removed without notice; same with macros.
413|Some macros are provided for compatibility with the older,
414|unadorned names, but this support may be disabled in a future release.
415|
416|Perl was originally written to handle US-ASCII only (that is characters
417|whose ordinal numbers are in the range 0 - 127).
418|And documentation and comments may still use the term ASCII, when
419|sometimes in fact the entire range from 0 - 255 is meant.
420|
421|The non-ASCII characters below 256 can have various meanings, depending on
422|various things. (See, most notably, L<perllocale>.) But usually the whole
423|range can be referred to as ISO-8859-1. Often, the term "Latin-1" (or
424|"Latin1") is used as an equivalent for ISO-8859-1. But some people treat
425|"Latin1" as referring just to the characters in the range 128 through 255, or
426|somethimes from 160 through 255.
427|This documentation uses "Latin1" and "Latin-1" to refer to all 256 characters.
428|
429|Note that Perl can be compiled and run under either ASCII or EBCDIC (See
430|L<perlebcdic>). Most of the documentation (and even comments in the code)
431|ignore the EBCDIC possibility.
432|For almost all purposes the differences are transparent.
433|As an example, under EBCDIC,
434|instead of UTF-8, UTF-EBCDIC is used to encode Unicode strings, and so
435|whenever this documentation refers to C<utf8>
436|(and variants of that name, including in function names),
437|it also (essentially transparently) means C<UTF-EBCDIC>.
438|But the ordinals of characters differ between ASCII, EBCDIC, and
439|the UTF- encodings, and a string encoded in UTF-EBCDIC may occupy a different
440|number of bytes than in UTF-8.
441|
442|The listing below is alphabetical, case insensitive.
