Table Module

(table/clear tab)

Remove all key-value pairs in a table and return the modified table `tab`.

(table/clone tab)

Create a copy of a table. Updates to the new table will not change the old table, and vice versa.

(table/getproto tab)

Get the prototype table of a table. Returns nil if the table has no prototype, otherwise returns the prototype.

(table/new capacity)

Creates a new empty table with pre-allocated memory for `capacity` entries. This means that if one knows the number of entries going into a table on creation, extra memory allocation can be avoided. Returns the new table.

(table/proto-flatten tab)

Create a new table that is the result of merging all prototypes into a new table.

(table/rawget tab key)

Gets a value from a table `tab` without looking at the prototype table. If `tab` does not contain the key directly, the function will return nil without checking the prototype. Returns the value in the table.

(table/setproto tab proto)

Set the prototype of a table. Returns the original table `tab`.

(table/to-struct tab)

Convert a table to a struct. Returns a new struct. This function does not take into account prototype tables.

(table/weak capacity)

Creates a new empty table with weak references to keys and values. Similar to `table/new`. Returns the new table.

(table/weak-keys capacity)

Creates a new empty table with weak references to keys and normal references to values. Similar to `table/new`. Returns the new table.

(table/weak-values capacity)

Creates a new empty table with normal references to keys and weak references to values. Similar to `table/new`. Returns the new table.
