getrawmetatable

Returns the raw metatable.

Syntax

getrawmetatable(object: any) -> table

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`object`	`any`	The object value used by the call.

Returns

Type	Description
`table`	The raw metatable

Description

getrawmetatable is part of the Metatables library. Metatable helpers operate below normal Lua protection: they read raw metatables, replace metamethods and inspect namecalls.

The call is read-only: it resolves the current value when invoked and does not change the underlying state.

Example

local mt = getrawmetatable(game)
print(mt)

Notes

Metatable changes are applied directly to the live object.
