370=head1 NAME
371
372perlapi - autogenerated documentation for the perl public API
373
374=head1 DESCRIPTION
375X<Perl API> X<API> X<api>
376
377This file contains the documentation of the perl public API generated by
378embed.pl, specifically a listing of functions, macros, flags, and variables
379that may be used by extension writers. L<At the end|/Undocumented functions>
380is a list of functions which have yet to be documented. The interfaces of
381those are subject to change without notice. Any functions not listed here are
382not part of the public API, and should not be used by extension writers at
383all. For these reasons, blindly using functions listed in proto.h is to be
384avoided when writing extensions.
385
386Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the C<PL_>
387prefix. Some macros are provided for compatibility with the older,
388unadorned names, but this support may be disabled in a future release.
389
390Perl was originally written to handle US-ASCII only (that is characters
391whose ordinal numbers are in the range 0 - 127).
392And documentation and comments may still use the term ASCII, when
393sometimes in fact the entire range from 0 - 255 is meant.
394
395Note that Perl can be compiled and run under EBCDIC (See L<perlebcdic>)
396or ASCII. Most of the documentation (and even comments in the code)
397ignore the EBCDIC possibility.
398For almost all purposes the differences are transparent.
399As an example, under EBCDIC,
400instead of UTF-8, UTF-EBCDIC is used to encode Unicode strings, and so
401whenever this documentation refers to C<utf8>
402(and variants of that name, including in function names),
403it also (essentially transparently) means C<UTF-EBCDIC>.
404But the ordinals of characters differ between ASCII, EBCDIC, and
405the UTF- encodings, and a string encoded in UTF-EBCDIC may occupy more bytes
406than in UTF-8.
407
408Also, on some EBCDIC machines, functions that are documented as operating on
409US-ASCII (or Basic Latin in Unicode terminology) may in fact operate on all
410256 characters in the EBCDIC range, not just the subset corresponding to
411US-ASCII.
412
413The listing below is alphabetical, case insensitive.
