This page lists the status of various files in regards to whether a successful dump was accomplished using them. Also listed is whether certian functions can be called from within them.

It's important to know if the globals(), print(), and dofilepath() functions are accessible, since these functions can be used to glean information about a particular script's environment, or scope. I think that print() and dofilepath() are in the same library, so only one of them has to be checked for, and not both.

Note that many LUA files have no (or almost no) scope -- they are simply storage for tables and variables. Sometimes, you can get around this if a table stores function calls in strings, which are executed later. This is the case among many of the UI LUAs, as well as the event tables in gametype LUAs.
