218perlapi - autogenerated documentation for the perl public API
219
220=head1 DESCRIPTION
221X<Perl API> X<API> X<api>
222
223This file contains the documentation of the perl public API generated by
224embed.pl, specifically a listing of functions, macros, flags, and variables
225that may be used by extension writers. The interfaces of any functions that
226are not listed here are subject to change without notice. For this reason,
227blindly using functions listed in proto.h is to be avoided when writing
228extensions.
229
230Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the C<PL_>
231prefix. Some macros are provided for compatibility with the older,
232unadorned names, but this support may be disabled in a future release.
233
234Perl was originally written to handle US-ASCII only (that is characters
235whose ordinal numbers are in the range 0 - 127).
236And documentation and comments may still use the term ASCII, when
237sometimes in fact the entire range from 0 - 255 is meant.
238
239Note that Perl can be compiled and run under EBCDIC (See L<perlebcdic>)
240or ASCII. Most of the documentation (and even comments in the code)
241ignore the EBCDIC possibility.
242For almost all purposes the differences are transparent.
243As an example, under EBCDIC,
244instead of UTF-8, UTF-EBCDIC is used to encode Unicode strings, and so
245whenever this documentation refers to C<utf8>
246(and variants of that name, including in function names),
247it also (essentially transparently) means C<UTF-EBCDIC>.
248But the ordinals of characters differ between ASCII, EBCDIC, and
249the UTF- encodings, and a string encoded in UTF-EBCDIC may occupy more bytes
250than in UTF-8.
251
252Also, on some EBCDIC machines, functions that are documented as operating on
253US-ASCII (or Basic Latin in Unicode terminology) may in fact operate on all
254256 characters in the EBCDIC range, not just the subset corresponding to
255US-ASCII.
256
257The listing below is alphabetical, case insensitive.

290This file is the autogenerated documentation of functions in the
291Perl interpreter that are documented using Perl's internal documentation
292format but are not marked as part of the Perl API. In other words,
293B<they are not for use in extensions>!
