Function Documentation

namespace __index

(

key

)

Retrieve a copy of a value in the namespace.

Parameters

key	the key, must be a string

namespace __newindex	(	key	,
		val
	)

Store a value in the namespace.

Parameters

key	the key, must be a string
val	the value to store, will be serialized

namespace forEach

(

func

)

Iterate over all keys/values in a namespace Note: namespaces do not offer a 'normal' iterator (e.g.

through a __pair metamethod) due to locking. Iterating over a table requires a lock on the whole table; ensuring that the lock is released is easier with a forEach method than with a regular iterator.

Parameters

func	function to call, receives (key, value) as arguments

function mod get

(

name

)

Get a namespace by its name creating it if necessary.

Parameters

name	the name, defaults to an auto-generated string consisting of the caller's filename and line number
