This library makes libuv available to Lua scripts.

This Lua module offers an interface to the GNU readline library.

The function readline() is a wrapper, which invokes the GNU readline, adds the line to the end of the history list, and then returns the line. Usually you call save_history() before the program exits, so that the history list is saved to the histfile.

This Lua module can dialogue with the user on the controlling-terminal of the process (typically /dev/tty) as returned by ctermid(). It also support most of readline's alternative interface, namely handler_install, read_char and handler_remove, and readline's custom completion.

This package provides Lua module for nonblocking system shell command executions.

LGI is gobject-introspection based dynamic Lua binding to GObject based libraries. It allows using GObject-based libraries directly from Lua. Notable examples are GTK+, GStreamer and Webkit.

LuaSQLite3 is a thin wrapper around the public domain SQLite3 database engine. It provides a complete binding to the SQLite3 C API from within Lua programs.

LuaSocket is a Lua extension library that is composed by two parts: a C core that provides support for the TCP and UDP transport layers, and a set of Lua modules that add support for functionality commonly needed by applications that deal with the Internet.

Among the supported modules, the most commonly used implement the SMTP (sending e-mails), HTTP (WWW access) and FTP (uploading and downloading files) client protocols. These provide a very natural and generic interface to the functionality defined by each protocol. In addition, you will find that the MIME (common encodings), URL (anything you could possible want to do with one) and LTN12 (filters, sinks, sources and pumps) modules can be very handy.

Lunit is a unit testing framework for Lua. It includes lunitx extensions adding Lua 5.2 compatibility via lunit.module and the lunitx module for running tests automatically at program exit.

LuaRocks is the package manager for the Lua programming language.

It allows you to install Lua modules as self-contained packages called rocks, which also contain version dependency information. This information can be used both during installation, so that when one rock is requested all rocks it depends on are installed as well, and also optionally at run time, so that when a module is required, the correct version is loaded. LuaRocks supports both local and remote repositories, and multiple local rocks trees.

Lua BitOp is a C extension module for Lua which adds bitwise operations on numbers.

This library makes libuv available to Lua scripts.

Luamake is a platform independent configuration and build system that uses the standard Lua command-line interpreter.

This is a binding to libunbound for Lua, allowing both asynchronous and DNSSEC-secured DNS lookups of arbitrary DNS record types.

It was created because Prosody needs an asynchronous DNS library with support for SRV records, and the ones found at the time did one or the other, or was missing DNSSEC that allowed implementing DANE.

It originated out of a need in the XMPP server software Prosody for an async-capable resolver library supporting SRV records, as well as a desire to experiment with DNSSEC and new DNS records.

LuaJIT is a Just-In-Time Compiler (JIT) for the Lua programming language. Lua is a powerful, dynamic and light-weight programming language. It may be embedded or used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language.

LuaFileSystem is a Lua library developed to complement the set of functions related to file systems offered by the standard Lua distribution. LuaFileSystem offers a portable way to access the underlying directory structure and file attributes.

Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.

LDoc is a LuaDoc-compatible documentation generation system for Lua source code. It parses the declaration and documentation comments in a set of Lua source files and produces a set of XHTML pages describing the commented declarations and functions.

The Lua language server provides various language features for Lua to make development easier and faster, including:

• Support for all recent versions of Lua, including LuaJIT

• Jump to definition

• Dynamic type checking

• Find references

• Diagnostics/Warnings

• Syntax checking

• Element renaming

• Hover to view details on variables, functions, and more

• Auto-completion

• Support for libraries

• Code formatting

• Spell checking

• Custom plugins

• Documentation generation

LuaExpat is a SAX XML parser based on the Expat library.

The cqueues extension module for Lua implements an event loop that operates through the yielding and resumption of coroutines. It is designed to be non-intrusive, composable, and embeddable within existing applications.

LPeg is a pattern-matching library for Lua, based on Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs).

The Bee Lua runtime implements a few extra features such as:

• Deterministic tables traversal

• Enable lua_assert in debug mode

• Add error hook (for debugger)

• Add resume/yield hook (for debugger)

• Disable tail calls in debug mode (for debugger)
