Returns

texture, itemCount, locked, quality, readable

texture - the texture for the item in the specified bag slot

itemCount - the number of items in the specified bag slot

locked - true if locked; that is, a stack that cannot be split

quality - the numeric quality of the item

readable - true if the item can be "read" (as in a book)

---

Examples

local texture, itemCount, locked, quality, readable = GetInventorySlotInfo(2);

If you are only interested in one of these values you can use the _ character to ignore one of them.

local _,itemCount,locked,quality,readable = GetInventorySlotInfo(2);

You can also omit variables if your only interested in the first few values.

local texture,itemCount = GetInventorySlotInfo(2)

See also: GetContainerItemInfo to get the same information from any of the player's bags.

---

Result

The texture variable will contain the item's texture and the itemCount variable will contain the number of that item in the slot.

The quality return value does not appear to directly correspond with the color used to display the item name. In addition, it only appears to be defined for equipment (as opposed to trade items).

The readable return value simply indicates if there is text related to the item. If it's true, the default UI will change the cursor to the "Read" cursor (the magnifying glass) when the mouse is over the item button.
