This module has some extra functions that are not in the SteamWorks API but may be useful to deal with it.
.. function:: extra.parseUint64 (str) :param string str: The string to convert to uint64. :returns: (`uint64`) The parsed number. 0 if the string was invalid. :see: :ref:`64-bit-integers` Converts a string to a 64-bit integer that can be used with this library.
Example:
local function saveMyId() -- This is highly useless since your ID won't change, but you get the point. writeFile('my_id.txt', tostring(Steam.user.getSteamID())) end local function readMyId() return Steam.extra.parseUint64(readFile('my_id.txt')) end
