Methods  

getPropList ( )systype.h[60]

Get a list of my directly-defined properties. When called on intrinsic class objects, this returns a list of properties defined for instances of the class, as well as static properties of the class.

getPropParams (prop)systype.h[70]
get parameter list information for the given method - returns a list: [minimumArgc, optionalArgc, varargs], where minimumArgc is the minimum number of arguments, optionalArgc is the number of additional optional arguments, and varargs is true if the function takes a varying number of arguments greater than or equal to the minimum, nil if not.

getSuperclassList ( )systype.h[46]
get the list of direct superclasses of this object

isClass ( )systype.h[76]
determine if I'm a "class" object - returns true if the object was defined with the "class" keyword, nil otherwise

isTransient ( )systype.h[87]
determine if this instance is transient

ofKind (cls)systype.h[43]
Determine if I'm an instance or subclass of the given class 'cls'. Note that x.ofKind(x) returns true - an object is of its own kind.

propDefined (prop, flags?)systype.h[49]
determine if a property is defined or inherited by this object

propInherited (prop, origTargetObj, definingObj, flags?)systype.h[84]
Determine if a property is inherited further from the given object. definingObj is usually the value of the 'definingobj' pseudo-variable, and origTargetObj is usually the value of the 'targetobj' pseudo-variable.

propType (prop)systype.h[52]
get the type of a property defined for this object

valToSymbol ( )reflect.t[236]
