Extra

This module has some extra functions that are not in the SteamWorks API but may be useful to deal with it.

List of Functions

Function Reference

.. function:: extra.parseUint64 (str)

    :param string str: The string to convert to uint64.
    :returns: (`uint64`) The parsed number. 0 if the string was invalid.
    :see: :ref:`64-bit-integers`

    Converts a string to a 64-bit integer that can be used with this library.

Example:

local function saveMyId()
    -- This is highly useless since your ID won't change, but you get the point.
    writeFile('my_id.txt', tostring(Steam.user.getSteamID()))
end

local function readMyId()
    return Steam.extra.parseUint64(readFile('my_id.txt'))
end
