368
369This file contains the documentation of the perl public API generated by
ef9741a5 370F<embed.pl>, specifically a listing of functions, macros, flags, and variables
cf5f2f8f
KW
371that may be used by extension writers. L<At the end|/Undocumented functions>
372is a list of functions which have yet to be documented. The interfaces of
373those are subject to change without notice. Any functions not listed here are
374not part of the public API, and should not be used by extension writers at
375all. For these reasons, blindly using functions listed in proto.h is to be
376avoided when writing extensions.
94bdecf9
JH
377
378Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the C<PL_>
379prefix. Some macros are provided for compatibility with the older,
380unadorned names, but this support may be disabled in a future release.
381

382Perl was originally written to handle US-ASCII only (that is characters
383whose ordinal numbers are in the range 0 - 127).
384And documentation and comments may still use the term ASCII, when
385sometimes in fact the entire range from 0 - 255 is meant.
386
387Note that Perl can be compiled and run under EBCDIC (See L<perlebcdic>)
388or ASCII. Most of the documentation (and even comments in the code)
389ignore the EBCDIC possibility.
390For almost all purposes the differences are transparent.
391As an example, under EBCDIC,
392instead of UTF-8, UTF-EBCDIC is used to encode Unicode strings, and so
393whenever this documentation refers to C<utf8>
394(and variants of that name, including in function names),
395it also (essentially transparently) means C<UTF-EBCDIC>.
396But the ordinals of characters differ between ASCII, EBCDIC, and
397the UTF- encodings, and a string encoded in UTF-EBCDIC may occupy more bytes
398than in UTF-8.
399
2bbc8d55 400The listing below is alphabetical, case insensitive.
