b87d9527

415|This file contains most of the documentation of the perl public API, as
416|generated by F<embed.pl>. Specifically, it is a listing of functions,
417|macros, flags, and variables that may be used by extension writers. Some
418|specialized items are instead documented in $specialized_docs.
419|
420|L<At the end|/Undocumented functions> is a list of functions which have yet
421|to be documented. Patches welcome! The interfaces of these are subject to
422|change without notice.
423|
424|Anything not listed here is not part of the public API, and should not be
425|used by extension writers at all. For these reasons, blindly using functions
426|listed in proto.h is to be avoided when writing extensions.
6a4c4cd4
DM
427|
428|In Perl, unlike C, a string of characters may generally contain embedded
429|C<NUL> characters. Sometimes in the documentation a Perl string is referred
430|to as a "buffer" to distinguish it from a C string, but sometimes they are
431|both just referred to as strings.
432|
433|Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the C<PL_>
434|prefix. Again, those not listed here are not to be used by extension writers,
435|and can be changed or removed without notice; same with macros.
436|Some macros are provided for compatibility with the older,
437|unadorned names, but this support may be disabled in a future release.
438|
439|Perl was originally written to handle US-ASCII only (that is characters
440|whose ordinal numbers are in the range 0 - 127).
441|And documentation and comments may still use the term ASCII, when
442|sometimes in fact the entire range from 0 - 255 is meant.
443|
444|The non-ASCII characters below 256 can have various meanings, depending on
445|various things. (See, most notably, L<perllocale>.) But usually the whole
446|range can be referred to as ISO-8859-1. Often, the term "Latin-1" (or
447|"Latin1") is used as an equivalent for ISO-8859-1. But some people treat
448|"Latin1" as referring just to the characters in the range 128 through 255, or
449|somethimes from 160 through 255.
450|This documentation uses "Latin1" and "Latin-1" to refer to all 256 characters.
451|
452|Note that Perl can be compiled and run under either ASCII or EBCDIC (See
453|L<perlebcdic>). Most of the documentation (and even comments in the code)
454|ignore the EBCDIC possibility.
455|For almost all purposes the differences are transparent.
456|As an example, under EBCDIC,
457|instead of UTF-8, UTF-EBCDIC is used to encode Unicode strings, and so
458|whenever this documentation refers to C<utf8>
459|(and variants of that name, including in function names),
460|it also (essentially transparently) means C<UTF-EBCDIC>.
461|But the ordinals of characters differ between ASCII, EBCDIC, and
462|the UTF- encodings, and a string encoded in UTF-EBCDIC may occupy a different
463|number of bytes than in UTF-8.
464|
465|The listing below is alphabetical, case insensitive.

500|
501|This file is the autogenerated documentation of functions in the
502|Perl interpreter that are documented using Perl's internal documentation
503|format but are not marked as part of the Perl API. In other words,
504|B<they are not for use in extensions>!
