Function luaPushError

src/scripting.cpp:289–311

This function is used in order to push an error on the Lua stack in the * format used by redis.pcall to return errors, which is a lua table * with a single "err" field set to the error string. Note that this * table is never a valid reply by proper commands, since the returned * tables are otherwise always indexed by integers, never by strings. */
