395
396This file contains the documentation of the perl public API generated by
ef9741a5 397F<embed.pl>, specifically a listing of functions, macros, flags, and variables
cf5f2f8f
KW
398that may be used by extension writers. L<At the end|/Undocumented functions>
399is a list of functions which have yet to be documented. The interfaces of
400those are subject to change without notice. Any functions not listed here are
401not part of the public API, and should not be used by extension writers at
402all. For these reasons, blindly using functions listed in proto.h is to be
403avoided when writing extensions.
94bdecf9
JH
404
405Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the C<PL_>
406prefix. Some macros are provided for compatibility with the older,
407unadorned names, but this support may be disabled in a future release.

409Perl was originally written to handle US-ASCII only (that is characters
410whose ordinal numbers are in the range 0 - 127).
411And documentation and comments may still use the term ASCII, when
412sometimes in fact the entire range from 0 - 255 is meant.
413
414Note that Perl can be compiled and run under EBCDIC (See L<perlebcdic>)
415or ASCII. Most of the documentation (and even comments in the code)
416ignore the EBCDIC possibility.
417For almost all purposes the differences are transparent.
418As an example, under EBCDIC,
419instead of UTF-8, UTF-EBCDIC is used to encode Unicode strings, and so
420whenever this documentation refers to C<utf8>
421(and variants of that name, including in function names),
422it also (essentially transparently) means C<UTF-EBCDIC>.
423But the ordinals of characters differ between ASCII, EBCDIC, and
424the UTF- encodings, and a string encoded in UTF-EBCDIC may occupy more bytes
425than in UTF-8.
426
2bbc8d55 427The listing below is alphabetical, case insensitive.
