inside Mono that developers extending or altering Mono might
want to use.
+<h2>Strings</h2>
+
+<h3>Other Encodings</h3>
+
+ <p>These routines are used when coping with strings that come
+ from Mono's environment, and might be encoded in one or more
+ of the external encodings.
+
+ <p>For example, some file systems might historically contain a
+ mix of file names with both old and new encodings, typically
+ UTF8 for new files, and the old files would be encoded in an 8
+ bit character set (ISO-8859-1 for example).
+
+ <p>These routines try a number of encodings, those specified
+ in the <tt>MONO_ENCODINGS</tt> environment variable and return
+ unicode strings that can be used internally.
+
+ <p>See the mono(1) man page for more details.

-<h2>Metadata Loading Errors</h2>
-
- <p>The routines in this section are used to cope with errors
- during metadata loading. Errors in metadata handling can
- happen for many reason, and these include (this is not an
- exhaustive list).
-
- <ul>
- <li>An assembly referenced is missing.
- <li>Fields referenced are missing.
- <li>Methods referenced are missing.
- </ul>
-
- <p>The <tt>mono_loader_set_*</tt> routines are invoked during
- metadata loading to flag that an error has happened. The
- class loading errros are flagged in a per-thread basis.
-
- <P>In various spots in the runtime the
- <tt>mono_loader_get_last_error</tt> routine is called to check
- if there was a problem, and then errors are propagated upwards
- on the stack until we reach a point where an exception can be
- raised and no runtime locks are held.
-
- <p>The <tt>mono_loader_error_prepare_exception</tt> takes a
- <tt>MonoLoaderError</tt> structure (the value returned from
- <tt>mono_loader_get_last_error</tt>), turns that into an
- exception and clears the error condition from the current
- thread.

<h2>Metadata Loader Locking: Internals</h2>
<p>The locking functions here are used by code in class.c and
<p>The internal interface of the Mono GC is the interface used
between the runtime engine and the garbage collector.
