94bdecf9
JH
287
288This file contains the documentation of the perl public API generated by
289embed.pl, specifically a listing of functions, macros, flags, and variables
cf5f2f8f
KW
290that may be used by extension writers. L<At the end|/Undocumented functions>
291is a list of functions which have yet to be documented. The interfaces of
292those are subject to change without notice. Any functions not listed here are
293not part of the public API, and should not be used by extension writers at
294all. For these reasons, blindly using functions listed in proto.h is to be
295avoided when writing extensions.
94bdecf9
JH
296
297Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the C<PL_>
298prefix. Some macros are provided for compatibility with the older,
299unadorned names, but this support may be disabled in a future release.

301Perl was originally written to handle US-ASCII only (that is characters
302whose ordinal numbers are in the range 0 - 127).
303And documentation and comments may still use the term ASCII, when
304sometimes in fact the entire range from 0 - 255 is meant.
305
306Note that Perl can be compiled and run under EBCDIC (See L<perlebcdic>)
307or ASCII. Most of the documentation (and even comments in the code)
308ignore the EBCDIC possibility.
309For almost all purposes the differences are transparent.
310As an example, under EBCDIC,
311instead of UTF-8, UTF-EBCDIC is used to encode Unicode strings, and so
312whenever this documentation refers to C<utf8>
313(and variants of that name, including in function names),
314it also (essentially transparently) means C<UTF-EBCDIC>.
315But the ordinals of characters differ between ASCII, EBCDIC, and
316the UTF- encodings, and a string encoded in UTF-EBCDIC may occupy more bytes
317than in UTF-8.
318
319Also, on some EBCDIC machines, functions that are documented as operating on
320US-ASCII (or Basic Latin in Unicode terminology) may in fact operate on all
321256 characters in the EBCDIC range, not just the subset corresponding to
322US-ASCII.
323
324The listing below is alphabetical, case insensitive.
