game

The game namespace contains functions that daochook has either hooked onto, or needed to interact with from within the hook due to either the calling convention being unfriendly with FFI or similar. These are generally wrappers that are just forwarded to Lua, giving addons access to call them.

Functions exposed by this namespace are accessed via the prefix: game.
