<h2><a name="functions"></a>Functions</h2>
<dl class="function">


<dt><a name="append"></a><strong>append</strong>&nbsp;(src, ...)</dt>
<dd>

 
Appends numerically indexed tables or single objects to a given table. 


<h3>Parameters</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>
	  src: Target table
	</li>
	
	<li>
	  ...: Objects to insert
	</li>
	
</ul>


<h3>Return value:</h3>

</dd>


<dt><a name="bigendian"></a><strong>bigendian</strong>&nbsp;()</dt>
<dd>

 
Test whether the current system is operating in big endian mode. 


<h3>Return value:</h3>
Boolean value indicating whether system is big endian


</dd>


<dt><a name="class"></a><strong>class</strong>&nbsp;(base)</dt>
<dd>

 
Create a Class object (Python-style object model). 
 
The class object can be instantiated by calling itself. 
Any class functions or shared parameters can be attached to this object. 
Attaching a table to the class object makes this table shared between 
all instances of this class. For object parameters use the __init__ function. 
Classes can inherit member functions and values from a base class. 
Class can be instantiated by calling them. All parameters will be passed 
to the __init__ function of this class - if such a function exists. 
The __init__ function must be used to set any object parameters that are not shared 
with other objects of this class. Any return values will be ignored.


<h3>Parameters</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>
	  base: The base class to inherit from (optional)
	</li>
