LuaFileSystem |
File system library for the Lua programming language |
LuaFileSystem is a library developed to complement the set of functions related to file systems offered by the standard Lua distribution. One of its goals is to be as portable as Lua.
LuaFileSystem is free software and uses the same license as Lua 5.0.
Current version is 1.0 alpha. It was developed for Lua 5.0.
Version 1.0 follows the package proposal for Lua 5.1 (see section Installation for more details).
LuaFileSystem can be downloaded from its Lua Forge page.
LuaFileSystem is distributed as a pair of C source and header files. The distribution provides a Makefile prepared to compile the library and install it. The file config should be edited to suit the needs of the aimed platform.
LuaFileSystem follows the package proposal for Lua 5.1, therefore this package should be "installed". In other words, if you are using Lua 5.0, the files compat-5.1.c and compat-5.1.h must be used in the compilation and the file compat-5.1.lua must be installed in the LUA_PATH. If you are using Lua 5.1, nothing should be done.
LuaFileSystem was designed by Roberto Ierusalimschy, André Carregal and Tomás Guisasola as part of The Kepler Project which holds its copyright.
