+### `Raycast`
+
+A raycast on the map. It works with selection boxes.
+Can be used as an iterator in a for loop as:
+
+    local ray = Raycast(...)
+    for pointed_thing in ray do
+        ...
+    end
+
+The map is loaded as the ray advances. If the map is modified after the
+`Raycast` is created, the changes may or may not have an effect on the object.
+
+It can be created via `Raycast(pos1, pos2, objects, liquids)` or
+`minetest.raycast(pos1, pos2, objects, liquids)` where:
+
+* `pos1`: start of the ray
+* `pos2`: end of the ray
+* `objects`: if false, only nodes will be returned. Default is true.
+* `liquids`: if false, liquid nodes won't be returned. Default is false.
+
+#### Methods
+
+* `next()`: returns a `pointed_thing` with exact pointing location
+    * Returns the next thing pointed by the ray or nil.
