mist.debug.dump_G

Added with: Mist 1.0
Description
Dumps the global environment (using mist.utils.tableShow) to Saved Games/DCS/Logs/fileName. The optional value removes entries for mist, slmod, env.mission, env.warehouses, country.by_idx, and country.by_country. These are entries I commonly remove to simplify the file as they can add quite a lot of extra data to the file.
Syntax
nothing mist.debug.dump_G(string fileName , boolean simple )
Valid Input Values:
fileName: "whatever.lua"

simple: true

Return value:
nothing
Return example:
nothing
Usage Examples:
 do
 mist.debug.dump_G('gDumpV2573.lua')	
 end

Notes:
For functions mist.debug.dump_G, mist.debug.writeData, and mist.debug.dumpDBs, you must (temporarily!) unprotect the Lua environment and enable the io and lfs libraries. You do this by commenting out the sanitizeModule calls in <DCS main directory>/Scripts/MissionScripting.lua. Just be sure to re-protect yourself later when you run missions from untrusted sources.
