Line 1: − ( This has been taken from [http://www.wowwiki.com/Lua_functions a WoWWiki page] - See the full, official documentation [http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html here] ) − *'''_G''' - Global Variable - A global variable (not a function) that holds the global environment (that is, _G._G = _G). Lua itself does not use this variable; changing its value does not affect any environment, nor vice-versa. (Use setfenv to change environments.) - taken from Lua docs − − *'''assert'''(value[, errormsg]) - asserts a value evaluates to true. If it is, returns value, otherwise causes a Lua error to be thrown. − − *'''getfenv'''(function or integer) - Returns the table representing the stack frame of the given function or stack level. − − *'''getmetatable'''(obj, mtable) - Returns the metatable of the given table or userdata object. − − *'''next'''(table, index) - Returns the next key, value pair of the table, allowing you to walk over the table. − − *'''newproxy'''(boolean or proxy) - Creates a userdata with a sharable metatable. − − *'''print''' - print (···) - Receives any number of arguments, and prints their values to stdout, using the tostring function to convert them to strings. print is not intended for formatted output, but only as a quick way to show a value, typically for debugging. For formatted output, use string.format. - taken from Lua Docs − − *'''select'''(index, list) - Returns the number of items in list or the value of the item in list at index. − − *'''setfenv'''(function or integer, table) - Sets the table representing the stack frame of the given function or stack level. − − *'''setmetatable'''(obj, mtable) - Sets the metatable of the given table or userdata object. − − *'''tostring''' - tostring (e) - Receives an argument of any type and converts it to a string in a reasonable format. For complete control of how numbers are converted, use string.format. If the metatable of e has a "__tostring" field, then tostring calls the corresponding value with e as argument, and uses the result of the call as its result. - taken from Lua Docs. − − *'''type'''(var) - Returns the type of variable as a string, "number", "string", "table", "function" or "userdata". − − *'''unpack'''(table[, start][, end]) - Returns the contents of its argument as separate values. − − *'''xpcall'''(func, err) - Returns a boolean indicating successful execution of func and calls err on failure, additionally returning func's or err's results.
