💖 ExtUti...Typemap — the manual page, but make it a group chat 💖

okay bestie so this is ExtUti...Typemap, a section 3pm manual page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew. Yes the title is literally truncated with dots in it, that's just how perl manpages do, don't perceive it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ExtUtils::Typemap — Read/Write/Modify Perl/XS typemap files 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

See "ExtUtils::Typemaps" instead! that's it, that's the synopsis, go look at the other one bestie 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk: this module is merely a compatibility wrapper around ExtUtils::Typemaps. it's giving "I'm just here so I don't get fined." 🙈

here's the tea ☕ — ExtUtils::Typemap got renamed to ExtUtils::Typemaps (yes, with an s, iconic) because the Typemap directory in lib/ could collide with the typemap file on case-insensitive file systems. not me losing my mind over two files named basically the same thing 😭 file systems said "one of you has to go" and the directory won.

and the ExtUtils::Typemaps module is part of the ExtUtils::ParseXS distribution, and it ships with the standard library of perl starting with perl version 5.16. so it's just. there. in your perl. no cap 🎀

a lil reminder bestie: this whole page is from perl v5.32.0, dated 2021-01-07, and it lives under the ExtUti...Typemap(3pm) header because perl manpages are dramatic about long names. mwah, go write some XS 💖✨🎀
