int()
num(str)
Convert string to number. Returns nil if str is nil, empty string, string with no number.
streq()
cmp()
substr()
chr()
contains()
typeof()
ghosttype(ghost)
Returns a string containing either a descriptive name as passed to naNewGhost or naNewGhost2 in C/C++ while creating the ghost or a unique id (aka the pointer to the C/C++ naGhostType instance) if no name has been set.

Trigonometric_functions
Caution: All trigonometric functions works with Radian-values - not with Degree!
To convert this:
radians = degree * math.pi / 180
degree = radians * 180 / math.pi
sin()
cos()
tan()
asin()
acos()
atan2()
exp()
ln()
pow()
sqrt()
floor()
ceil()
fmod()
A modulo-operator, mod(x,y) also works...
The modulo-operation finds the remainder of division of one number by another (sometimes called modulus).
clamp()
periodic()
round()
pi
e
io
- SEEK_SET
- SEEK_CUR
- SEEK_END
- stdin
- stdout
- stderr
stat()
directory()
returns the files in a given directory
e.g. chatter_list = directory( chatter_dir );
