=head1 NAME
perlapi - autogenerated documentation for the perl public API
=head1 DESCRIPTION
+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. Anything not listed here is
+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,
+prefix. Again, those not listed here are not to be used by extension writers,
+and can be changed or removed without notice; same with macros.
+Some macros are provided for compatibility with the older,
unadorned names, but this support may be disabled in a future release.
-The listing is alphabetical, case insensitive.
+Perl was originally written to handle US-ASCII only (that is characters
+whose ordinal numbers are in the range 0 - 127).
+And documentation and comments may still use the term ASCII, when
+sometimes in fact the entire range from 0 - 255 is meant.
+
+Note that Perl can be compiled and run under EBCDIC (See L<perlebcdic>)
+or ASCII. Most of the documentation (and even comments in the code)
+ignore the EBCDIC possibility.
+For almost all purposes the differences are transparent.
+As an example, under EBCDIC,
+instead of UTF-8, UTF-EBCDIC is used to encode Unicode strings, and so
+whenever this documentation refers to C<utf8>
+(and variants of that name, including in function names),
+it also (essentially transparently) means C<UTF-EBCDIC>.
+But the ordinals of characters differ between ASCII, EBCDIC, and
+the UTF- encodings, and a string encoded in UTF-EBCDIC may occupy more bytes
+than in UTF-8.
+
+The listing below is alphabetical, case insensitive.
