225perlapi - autogenerated documentation for the perl public API
226
227=head1 DESCRIPTION
228X<Perl API> X<API> X<api>
229
230This file contains the documentation of the perl public API generated by
231embed.pl, specifically a listing of functions, macros, flags, and variables
232that may be used by extension writers. The interfaces of any functions that
233are not listed here are subject to change without notice. For this reason,
234blindly using functions listed in proto.h is to be avoided when writing
235extensions.
236
237Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the C<PL_>
238prefix. Some macros are provided for compatibility with the older,
239unadorned names, but this support may be disabled in a future release.
240
241Perl was originally written to handle US-ASCII only (that is characters
242whose ordinal numbers are in the range 0 - 127).
243And documentation and comments may still use the term ASCII, when
244sometimes in fact the entire range from 0 - 255 is meant.
245
246Note that Perl can be compiled and run under EBCDIC (See L<perlebcdic>)
247or ASCII. Most of the documentation (and even comments in the code)
248ignore the EBCDIC possibility.
249For almost all purposes the differences are transparent.
250As an example, under EBCDIC,
251instead of UTF-8, UTF-EBCDIC is used to encode Unicode strings, and so
252whenever this documentation refers to C<utf8>
253(and variants of that name, including in function names),
254it also (essentially transparently) means C<UTF-EBCDIC>.
255But the ordinals of characters differ between ASCII, EBCDIC, and
256the UTF- encodings, and a string encoded in UTF-EBCDIC may occupy more bytes
257than in UTF-8.
258
259Also, on some EBCDIC machines, functions that are documented as operating on
260US-ASCII (or Basic Latin in Unicode terminology) may in fact operate on all
261256 characters in the EBCDIC range, not just the subset corresponding to
262US-ASCII.
263
264The listing below is alphabetical, case insensitive.
265
266_EOB_
267
268my $key;
269# case insensitive sort, with fallback for determinacy
270for $key (sort { uc($a) cmp uc($b) || $a cmp $b } keys %apidocs) {
271 my $section = $apidocs{$key};
272 print $doc "\n=head1 $key\n\n=over 8\n\n";
273 # Again, fallback for determinacy
274 for my $key (sort { uc($a) cmp uc($b) || $a cmp $b } keys %$section) {
275 docout($doc, $key, $section->{$key});
