st: Mata Variance Calculation

Hi,
Can anyone confirm whether the variance function in mata is a sample
value (with n-1 observations) as opposed to a population (with n
observations) measure?
IOTW, I have a column vector of 100 values and apply the variance
function. Is n=99? From my own calculations it appears to be so but
I wish to be sure and it is not stated in the documentation. Thanks.
Tom
