NAME
perlapi - autogenerated documentation for the perl public API
DESCRIPTION
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.
Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the PL_
prefix. 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.
_EOB_
my $key; # case insensitive sort, with fallback for determinacy for $key (sort { uc($a) cmp uc($b) || $a cmp $b } keys %apidocs) { my $section = $apidocs{$key}; print DOC "\n=head1 $key\n\n=over 8\n\n"; # Again, fallback for determinacy for my $key (sort { uc($a) cmp uc($b) || $a cmp $b } keys %$section) { docout(\*DOC, $key, $section->{$key}); } print DOC "\n=back\n"; }
print DOC <<'_EOE_';

perlintern - autogenerated documentation of purely internal Perl functions
DESCRIPTION
This file is the autogenerated documentation of functions in the Perl interpreter that are documented using Perl's internal documentation format but are not marked as part of the Perl API. In other words, they are not for use in extensions!

AUTHORS
The autodocumentation system was originally added to the Perl core by Benjamin Stuhl. Documentation is by whoever was kind enough to document their functions.
