Function: integer llGetListEntryType( list src, integer index );

Returns an integer that is the type of the entry index in src.

• list	src	–	List containing the element of interest.
• integer	index	–	Index of the element of interest.

index supports negative indexes.
If index describes a location not in src then TYPE_INVALID is returned.

Index	Positive	Negative
First	`0`	`-length`
Last	`length - 1`	`-1`

Positive indexes count from the beginning, the first item being indexed as 0, the last as (length - 1).

Negative indexes count from the far end, the first item being indexed as -length, the last as -1.

If index is out of bounds the script continues to execute without an error message.If a vector is stored in a list as "<7,5,0>" (as opposed to <7,5,0>), its type will be returned as TYPE_STRING, not TYPE_VECTOR. The same applies for "1" being returned as a string instead of an integer, etc. There is no easy way to guess what the type could be from a string value.

Signature
function integer llGetListEntryType( list src, integer index );
