file	File events
hwinfo	hwinfo
log	Logging
lua	Lua scripting
misc	misc
os	OS environment
roots	Get roots

Methods

`chdir(dir)`	Change working directory
`exec(argv)`	Execute another binary
`exit(exit_code)`	Exit deai
`load_plugin(file)`	Load a single plugin
`load_plugin_from_dir(path)`	Load plugins from a directory
`quit()`	Exit deai
`register_module(name, module)`	Register a module

chdir(dir) → integer

Return type:: integer
Parameters:: dir (string)

Change working directory

exec(argv) → integer

Return type:: integer
Parameters:: argv ([string])

Execute another binary

This call replaces the current process by running another binary. One use case for this is to restart deai.

exit(exit_code) → void

Return type:: void
Parameters:: exit_code (integer)

Exit deai

Instruct deai to exit. deai won’t exit immediately when the function is called, it will exit next time the control returns to the mainloop. (e.g. after your script finished running).

load_plugin(file) → void

Return type:: void
Parameters:: file (string)

Load a single plugin

load_plugin_from_dir(path) → integer

Return type:: integer
Parameters:: path (string)

Load plugins from a directory

quit() → void

Return type:: void

Exit deai

Equivalent to exit(0)

register_module(name, module) → integer

Return type:

integer

Parameters:

name (string)
module (module)

Register a module
