🔗darktable.debug.dump

function(
  object : anything,
  [name : string],
  [known : table]
) : string

This will return a string describing everything Lua knows about an object, used to know what an object is. This function is recursion-safe and can be used to dump _G if needed.

• object - anything - The object to dump.
• [name] - string - A name to use for the object.
• [known] - table - A table of object,string pairs. Any object in that table will not be dumped, the string will be printed instead. defaults to darktable.debug.known if not set
• return - string - A string containing a text description of the object - can be very long.
