Pcall
Available since: Gideros 2011.6
Description
Calls function f with the given arguments in protected mode. This means that any error inside f is not propagated; instead, `pcall` catches the error and returns a status code. Its first result is the status code (a boolean), which is true if the call succeeds without errors. In such case, `pcall` also returns all results from the call, after this first result. In case of any error, `pcall` returns false plus the error message.
