From 03786ed853fb2d538bd3448f778e9d0cfe50691e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karl Palsson Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2015 15:18:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] uci:get_list: always return a table, no matter what. Previously, get_list("fake", "non-existent", "notreal") would still return a table, just empty. This is nice, as you can always iterate the returned table, without having to check it first. However, if you happened to pass a nil for any of the parameters, you would actually get a nil in return. This was inconsistent. The documentation is updated to clarify the behaviour of this function.
