NAME

lua_setfield — pops the value from the stack, function indicator [-1, +0, e]

SYNOPSIS

#include <lua.h>

void
lua_setfield(lua_State *L, int index, const char *k);

DESCRIPTION

lua_setfield() does the equivalent to t[k] = v, where t is the value at the given valid index and v is the value at the top of the stack.

This function pops the value from the stack. As in Lua, this function may trigger a metamethod for the "newindex" event.
