stdio functions. For more specific documentation of its
function, please see the pod section of Stdio.pm.
- *** Please Note ***
-
-This package is the direct descendant of VMS::stdio, but as of Perl
-5.002, the name has been changed to VMS::Stdio, in order to conform
-to the Perl naming convention that extensions whose name begins
-with a lowercase letter represent compile-time "pragmas", while
-extensions which provide added functionality have names whose parts
-begin with uppercase letters. In addition, the functions
-vmsfopen and fgetname have been renamed vmsopen and getname,
-respectively, in order to more closely resemble related Perl
-I/O operators, which do not retain the 'f' from corresponding
-C routine names.
-
-A transitional interface to the old routine names has been
-provided, so that calls to these routines will generate a
-warning, and be routed to the corresponding VMS::Stdio
-routine. This interface will be removed in a future release,
-so please update your code to use the new names.
