autodoc.pl: escape POD
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
RT #133638

This script generates perlapi.pod, and contains snippets of POD
which it inserts into that file. The metacpan web site was interpreting
this as pod for autodoc.pl and displaying it.

Escape the pod by prefixing each line with '|'.

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
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.
In Perl, unlike C, a string of characters may generally contain embedded
C<NUL> characters. Sometimes in the documentation a Perl string is referred
to as a "buffer" to distinguish it from a C string, but sometimes they are
both just referred to as strings.
Note that all Perl API global variables must be referenced with the C<PL_>
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.
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.
The non-ASCII characters below 256 can have various meanings, depending on
various things. (See, most notably, L<perllocale>.) But usually the whole
range can be referred to as ISO-8859-1. Often, the term "Latin-1" (or
"Latin1") is used as an equivalent for ISO-8859-1. But some people treat
"Latin1" as referring just to the characters in the range 128 through 255, or
somethimes from 160 through 255.
This documentation uses "Latin1" and "Latin-1" to refer to all 256 characters.
Note that Perl can be compiled and run under either ASCII or EBCDIC (See
L<perlebcdic>). 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 a different
number of bytes than in UTF-8.
The listing below is alphabetical, case insensitive.
