function

Methods on every closure.

Functions

acall	function.acall(args: array): any	Calls the closure with the arguments taken from an array: `args[0]` becomes `this`, and the rest of `args` becomes the closure's own parameters.
bindenv	function.bindenv(env: table\|instance\|class): any	Returns a copy of the closure with `env` statically bound as its `this`: every future call to the copy uses `env`, no matter how it is called.
call	function.call(...): any	Calls the closure, using `env` as its `this` and forwarding the rest of the arguments as its own parameters.
clone	clone(): any	Returns the closure itself: unlike a table, array or class instance, a closure has no separate clone identity.
getfreevar	function.getfreevar(index: int): any	Returns the name and current value of one of the closure's free variables (the outer locals it captured when it was created).
getfuncinfos	function.getfuncinfos(): any	Returns a table describing the closure: its name, parameters, and other introspection data the VM tracks for it.
pacall	function.pacall(args: array): any	Calls the closure like `acall` does, taking `this` and the arguments from an array: `args[0]` becomes `this`, and the rest of `args` becomes the closure's own parameters.
pcall	function.pcall(...): any	Calls the closure like `call` does, using `env` as its `this` and forwarding the rest of the arguments as its own parameters.
tostring	tostring(): any	Returns a string that names the type and identity of the closure.
weakref	weakref(): any	Returns a weak reference to the closure.
