#NAME

perlintern - autogenerated documentation of purelyinternal 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!

#is_gv_magical

ReturnsTRUE if given the name of a magical GV.

Currently only useful internally when determining if a GV should be created even in rvalue contexts.

flags is not used at present but available for future extension to allow selecting particular classes of magical variable.
