Could someone please explain when/how to use getSymbolInfo. I've expected following works but it is not working.

registerSymbol("QQQ", 0x4f4f4f4f, true)
print(getAddressSafe("QQQ"))
print(getSymbolInfo("QQQ").address)

Error:[string "registerSymbol("QQQ", 0x4f4f4f4f, true)
..."]:3: attempt to index a nil value
Script Error

registersymbol isn't a symbollist symbol so that doesn't work

Code:

if getOpenedProcessID()==0 then error('needs an open process') end

if getAddressSafe("QQQ")==nil then
  sl=createSymbolList()
  sl.addSymbol(nil,'QQQ', 0x4f4f4f4f, 8)
  sl.register()
end

print(getAddressSafe("QQQ"))
print(getSymbolInfo("QQQ").address)
