Array.type | LuaRT free and open source Windows programming framework for Lua

Array.type readonly

Gets the type of elements stored in the C Array, as a string.

Notes

This property returns the same result as the C.type() function.
If the Array is a C Array definition, the property returns the string "Array<cdef>"

Example


local c = require 'c'

-- Defines a C array with 3 rows of 4 chars
local CharArray = c.Array("c", 3, 4)

-- Creates a new CharArray with an initialization table
local array = CharArray {
    { "a", "b", "c", '\0' },
    { "d", "e", "f", '\0' },
    { "g", "h", "i", '\0' }
}

-- Prints the array elements type
print(c.type(CharArray))
