store_key(3) Arcan Lua API store_key(3) NAME store_key - Store one or several key-value pairs in the database. SYNOPSIS true or false store_key( argtbl or [key, val], opttgt, optcfg ) DESCRIPTION There are multiple key- value stores that can be used for keeping track of specific key value pairs. The default one is bound to the currently running appl, but there is also one connected to each execution target that can be accessed by setting opttgt to any value returned from calling list_targets . There is also an execution target configuration specific key- value store if both opttgt and optcfg are set to a valid target- configuration pair. Only characters in the set [a-Z][0-9]_/+= are valid key values. NOTES 1 The /+= are allowed to support base64 encoded values. 2 If the string length of a value field is set to 0, the key will be deleted. To set multiple pairs at once, pack them in a key- indexed table. EXAMPLE function store_key0() tbl = {key_a = "ok", key_b = "ok"}; store_key(tbl); store_key("key_c", "ok"); print(get_key("key_a")); print(get_key("key_b")); print(get_key("key_c")); local tgtlist = list_targets(); if (#tgtlist > 0) then store_key(tbl, tgtlist[1]); store_key(tbl, tgtlist[1], target_configurations(tgtlist[1])[1]); end end SEE ALSO: get_key(3) match_keys(3) list_targets(3) target_configurations(3) database August 2026 store_key(3)
