C parameter
UniverseID containerid

UILoadout2 uiloadout
int64_t price
CrewTransferInfo2 crewtransfer
bool immediate
const char* customname

A pointer return is cdata, not a Lua string. A C bool maps to Lua boolean, scalar C numbers normally map to number, and 64-bit integers and structs can remain cdata. void has no direct return; output buffers may still be modified. Buffer size, lifetime, ownership and the correct UI context must be established before calling.

Example and context#

See language basics, types and methods and Lua / MD events. Examples there are independent learning examples. No project source files or private implementation fragments are distributed with this reference.
