FUNCTION ARGUMENTS msgpack.vim-arguments

Disambiguation of arguments described below. Note: if e.g. function is listed as accepting {msgpack-integer} (or anything else) it means that function does not check whether argument matches its description. {msgpack-value} Either msgpack-special-dict or a regular value, but not function reference. {msgpack-integer} Any value for which msgpack#type will return "integer". {msgpack-special-int} msgpack-special-dict representing integer.
msgpack#is_int({msgpack-value})                         msgpack#is_int()
        Returns 1 if given {msgpack-value} is integer value, 0 otherwise.
msgpack#is_uint({msgpack-value})                        msgpack#is_uint()
        Returns 1 if given {msgpack-value} is integer value greater or equal 
        to zero, 0 otherwise.
                                                        msgpack#strftime
msgpack#strftime({format}, {msgpack-integer})           msgpack#strftime()
        Same as strftime(), but second argument may be 
        msgpack-special-dict.  Requires +python or +python3 to really 
        work with msgpack-special-dicts.
                                                        msgpack#strptime
msgpack#strptime({format}, {time})                      msgpack#strptime()
        Reverse of msgpack#strptime(): for any time and format 
        msgpack#equal( msgpack#strptime(format, msgpack#strftime(format, 
        time)), time) be true.  Requires +python or +python3, without it 
        only supports non-msgpack-special-dict nonnegative times and format 
        equal to %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S  .
msgpack#int_dict_to_str({msgpack-special-int})  msgpack#int_dict_to_str()
        Function which converts msgpack-special-dict integer value to 
        a hexadecimal value like 0x1234567890ABCDEF (always returns exactly 16 
        hexadecimal digits).
msgpack#special_type({msgpack-value})           msgpack#special_type()
        Returns zero if {msgpack-value} is not msgpack-special-dict.  If it 
        is it returns name of the key in v:msgpack_types which represents 
        {msgpack-value} type.
msgpack#type({msgpack-value})                           msgpack#type()
        Returns name of the key in v:msgpack_types that represents 
        {msgpack-value} type.  Never returns zero: this function returns 
        msgpack type which will be dumped by msgpackdump() should it receive 
        a list with singe {msgpack-value} as input.
msgpack#deepcopy({msgpack-value})                       msgpack#deepcopy()
        Like deepcopy(), but works correctly with msgpack-special-dict 
        values.  Plain deepcopy() will destroy all types in 
        msgpack-special-dict values because it will copy _TYPE key values, 
        while they should be preserved.
msgpack#string({msgpack-value})                         msgpack#string()
        Like string(), but saves information about msgpack types.  Values 
        dumped by msgpack#string may be read back by msgpack#eval().  
        Returns is the following:

        - Dictionaries are dumped as "{key1: value1, key2: value2}". Note: 
          msgpack allows any values in keys, so with some 
          msgpack-special-dict values msgpack#string() may produce even 
          "{{1: 2}: 3, [4]: 5}".
        - Lists are dumped as "[value1, value2]".
        - Strings are dumped as
          1. "abc"  : binary string.
          2. ="abc"  : string.
          3. +(10)"ext"  : extension strings (10 may be replaced with any 
             8-bit signed integer).
          Inside strings the following escape sequences may be present: "\0" 
          (represents NUL byte), "\n" (represents line feed) and "\"" 
          (represents double quote).
        - Floating-point and integer values are dumped using string() or 
          msgpack#int_dict_to_str().
        - Booleans are dumped as "TRUE" or "FALSE".
        - Nil values are dumped as "NIL".
msgpack#eval({string}, {dict})                          msgpack#eval()
        Transforms string created by msgpack#string() into a value suitable 
        for msgpackdump().  Second argument allows adding special values 
        that start with head characters (/\h) and contain only word 
        characters (/\w).  Built-in special values are "TRUE", "FALSE", 
        "NIL", "nan" and "inf" and they cannot be overridden.  Map values are 
        always evaluated to msgpack-special-dict values, as well as 
        hexadecimal digits.  When evaluating maps order of keys is preserved.

        Note that in addition to regular integer representations that may be 
        obtained using msgpack#string() msgpack#eval() also supports C-style 
        “character” integer constants like '/'   (equivalent to 
        char2nr('/')  : 47  ). This also allows '\0'   (number is decimal).
                                                        msgpack#equal
msgpack#equal({msgpack-value}, {msgpack-value})         msgpack#equal()
        Returns 1 if given values are equal, 0 otherwise.  When comparing 
        msgpack map values order of keys is ignored.  Comparing 
        msgpack-special-dict with equivalent non-special-dict value 
        evaluates to 1.
