LlGetNotecardLine

Requests the line line of the notecard name from the dataserver.
Returns a key that is the handle for a dataserver event response.

line does not support negative indexes. If line is past the end of the notecard EOF is returned by the dataserver.

• This function causes the script to sleep for 0.1 seconds.
• If line is out of bounds the script continues to execute without an error message.
• If name is missing from the prim's inventory and it is not a UUID or it is not a notecard then an error is shouted on DEBUG_CHANNEL.
• If name is a UUID then there are no new asset permissions consequences for the object.
  • The resulting object develops no new usage restrictions that might have occurred if the asset had been placed in the prims inventory.
• If name is a new empty notecard (never saved) then an error "Couldn't find notecard ~NAME~" (~NAME~ being the value of name) will be shouted on the DEBUG_CHANNEL. This is because until a notecard is saved for the first time, it does not exist as an asset only as an inventory placeholder (llGetInventoryKey will return NULL_KEY).
• If notecard contains embedded inventory items (such as textures and landmarks), EOF will be returned, regardless of the line requested.
• If the requested line is longer then 255 bytes the dataserver will return the first 255 bytes of the line.
