SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
Thes functions convert a numeric value into a string.
string.mki() returns the value converted into a little-endian 16-bit byte-sequence. It is equivalent to string.char(value) .. string.char(value >> 8).
string.mkin() is the big endian variant of string.mki(). It is equivalent to string.char(value >> 8) .. string.char(value).
string.mkl() returns the value converted into a little-endian 16-bit byte-sequence. It is equivalent to string.char(value) .. string.char(value >> 8) .. string.char(value >> 16) .. string.char(value >> 24).
string.mkln() is the big endian variant of string.mkl(). It is equivalent to string.char(value >> 24) .. string.char(value >> 16) .. string.char(value >> 8) .. string.char(value).
RETURN VALUE
A string of two or four bytes length.
