=head1 NAME
X<Perl API> X<API> X<api>
This file contains the documentation of the perl public API generated by
-embed.pl, specifically a listing of functions, macros, flags, and variables
-that may be used by extension writers. The interfaces of any functions that
-are not listed here are subject to change without notice. For this reason,
-blindly using functions listed in proto.h is to be avoided when writing
-extensions.
+F<embed.pl>, specifically a listing of functions, macros, flags, and variables
+that may be used by extension writers. L<At the end|/Undocumented functions>
+is a list of functions which have yet to be documented. The interfaces of
+those are subject to change without notice. Any functions not listed here are
+not part of the public API, and should not be used by extension writers at
+all. For these reasons, blindly using functions listed in proto.h is to be
+avoided when writing extensions.
Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the C<PL_>
prefix. Some macros are provided for compatibility with the older,
the UTF- encodings, and a string encoded in UTF-EBCDIC may occupy more bytes
than in UTF-8.
-Also, on some EBCDIC machines, functions that are documented as operating on
-US-ASCII (or Basic Latin in Unicode terminology) may in fact operate on all
-256 characters in the EBCDIC range, not just the subset corresponding to
-US-ASCII.

The listing below is alphabetical, case insensitive.
