⚠️ This document is auto-generated and may drift as symbols change. The table lists the
Tsymbolsnm -gC --defined-onlyreports for the builtlibmmt_core.so; thepubliccolumn is derived from membership in the installed public headers (src/mmt_core/public_include/*.h), not from the symbol table. Regenerate/check with:bash scripts/validate-exported-symbols.sh [--write]— the doc-validators CI job runs it on every PR (issue #187, Task 0.7).
As a basis for a future specification for the public API, here’s a comprehensive list of the symbols exported from libmmt_core.so.
We should probably trim it down to ~30 symbols.
Deprecation note (2026-09, #149): The following 3 public ABI symbols are exported (
nm -D local_install/dpi/lib/libmmt_core.so | grep ' T 'confirms) but have 0 callers outside their definition/headers (grep -r <symbol> src sdk/tests sdk/examples tests examplesshows only declaration+definition). They are now marked__attribute__((deprecated))insrc/mmt_core/public_include/mmt_core.h:938,795,640(and mirrored insdk/include/mmt_core.h) and are scheduled for removal in release 2.0.0 — recorded inCHANGELOG.md(issue #232):setDataLinkType(obsolete, @obsolete since long),get_attribute_extracted_data_encap_index(redundant withget_attribute_extracted_data_at_index),mmt_print_all_protocols(debug helper, preferiterate_through_protocols).
Deprecation note (2026-09, #237):
mmt_search_irc_ssl_detect_ninty_percent_but_very_fast(libmmt_tcpip) keeps its exported symbol for ABI stability but is now__attribute__((deprecated))insrc/mmt_tcpip/lib/protocols/proto_irc.c:375-376. Use the correctly named aliasmmt_search_irc_ssl_detect(same signature and behaviour, defined alongside atproto_irc.c:356). The misspelled name is scheduled for removal in release 2.0.0.
