printgetmetatablet is a user-defined utility commonly used in Lua-inspired environments to display the metatable associated with a given value, most often a table. It functions as a debugging aid to inspect how an object is customized through a metatable, including which metamethods are in effect and how they alter default behavior.
In Lua, metatables provide a mechanism for operator overloading and custom behavior by defining metamethods such
Implementation and behavior can vary. Some versions attempt to recursively print nested tables or to format
Use of printgetmetatablet is primarily for development and debugging, helping programmers understand how objects are extended
