Comment

A string.pack is a function that packs multiple values into a single string. This is part of the string library and is used to serialize data into a compact binary format.

The basic syntax is: string.pack(format, ...)

- format is a string that specifies the packing format
- ... are the values to be packed

For example: string.pack("iii", 1, 2, 3) packs three integers into a single string.

The format string can contain various specifiers, such as:

- i for signed integers
- I for unsigned integers
- f for floating-point numbers
- c for characters
- b for booleans
- s for strings

Each specifier can be followed by a number, indicating the number of values to pack. For example, i3 packs three signed integers.

Note that string.pack is a Lua 5.3+ feature. In earlier versions, you can use the struct library or other third-party libraries for similar functionality.
