NAME

lua_gettable — pushes onto the stack the value t[k], where t is the value at the given valid index and k is the value at the top of the stack, function indicator [-1, +1, e]

SYNOPSIS

#include <lua.h>

void
lua_gettable(lua_State *L, int index);

DESCRIPTION

lua_gettable() pushes onto the stack the value t[k], where t is the value at the given valid index and k is the value at the top of the stack.

This function pops the key from the stack (putting the resulting value in its place). As in Lua, this function may trigger a metamethod for the "index" event.
