What is snarf in Javascript/ECMA?
<p>I was looking through Mozilla's <a href="http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/narcissus/jsexec.js" rel="nofollow">JS in JS</a> code and came across the <a href="http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/narcissus/jsexec.js#137" rel="nofollow">snarf function</a>. It's not defined in the javascript, it seems, just in the C version <a href="http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/src/js.c#3712" rel="nofollow">here</a>. It isn't very well-commented, though. I Google searched this to no avail. </p>

<p>Is this a standard part of JavaScript? (My guess is no.) Is it some kind of extension? What is it supposed to do? </p>
