=head1 NAME
Win32::API::Type - C type support package for Win32::API
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Win32::API;
Win32::API::Type->typedef( 'my_number', 'LONG' );
=head1 ABSTRACT
This module is a support package for Win32::API that implements
C types for the import with prototype functionality.
See L<Win32::API> for more info about its usage.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module is automatically imported by Win32::API, so you don't
need to 'use' it explicitly. These are the methods of this package:
=over 4
=item C<typedef NAME, TYPE>
This method defines a new type named C<NAME>. This actually just
creates an alias for the already-defined type C<TYPE>, which you
can use as a parameter in a Win32::API call.
When C<TYPE> contains a Win32::API::Struct type declared with
L<Win32::API::Struct/typedef> with " *" postfixed to C<TYPE> parameter,
C<NAME> will be a alias for the pointer version of the struct type. Creating
an alias for a struct type is not supported, you have to call
L<Win32::API::Struct/typedef> again. Passing a struct type as C<TYPE>
without the " *" postfix is not supported.
L<Warns|perlfunc/warn> and returns undef if C<TYPE> is unknown, else returns true.
=item C<sizeof TYPE>
This returns the size, in bytes, of C<TYPE>. Acts just like
the C function of the same name.
=item C<is_known TYPE>
Returns true if C<TYPE> is known by Win32::API::Type, false
otherwise.
=back
=head2 SUPPORTED TYPES
This module recognizes many commonly used types defined in the Win32 Platform
SDK header files, but not all. Types less than 13 years old are very unlikely
to be the in built type database.
Please see the source for this module, in the C<__DATA__> section,
for the full list of builtin supported types.
=head2 NOTES ON SELECT TYPES
=over 4
=item LPVOID
Due to poor design, currently LPVOID is a char *, a string, not a number.
It should really be a number. It is suggested to replace LPVOID in your
C prototypes passed to Win32::API with UINT_PTR which is a pointer
sized number.
=item SOMETYPE **
Currently ** types do not parse.
=item void **
Replace void ** in your C prototype that you pass to Win32::API::More with
LPHANDLE.
=item unsigned char
=item signed char
These 2 types by name force numeric handling. C<97> not C<"a">. C<UCHAR> is
not a C<unsigned char> for numeric handling purposes.
