Chapter 7, Miscellaneous functions

There are some 'functions' in Pike that are not really functions at all but just as builtin as operators. These special functions can do things that no other functions can do, but they can not be re-defined or overloaded. In this chapter I will describe these functions and why they are implemented as special functions.

7.1 sscanf

7.2 catch & throw

7.3 gauge

7.4 typeof
