.Xr standards 5 for more information about some of these. Most interfaces
should support at least UTF-8 in addition to ASCII.
.It Em INTERFACE STABILITY
Indicates the level of commitment to the interface. Interfaces can be described
with in the following ways:
! .Bl -tag
.It Nm Standard
Indicates that the interface is defined by one or more standards bodies.
Generally, changes to the interface will be carefully managed to conform
to the relevant standards. These interfaces are generally the most suitable
for use in portable programs.

This section describes considerations for the interface when used within
programs that use multiple threads. More discussion of these considerations
is made in the MT-Level section of
.Xr attributes 5 .
The interface can be described in the following ways.
! .Bl -tag
.It Nm Safe
Indicates the interface is safe for use within multiple threads. There
may be additional caveats that apply, in which case those will be
described. Note that some interfaces have semantics which may affect
other threads, but these should be an intrinsic part of the interface
