<h2>Overview</h2>

<p>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.</p>

<p>LuaFileSystem is free software and uses the same <a href=
"license.html">license</a> as Lua 5.0. <a name="version"></a></p>

<h2>Current version</h2>

<p>Current version is 1.0. It was developed for Lua 5.0.</p>

<p>Version 1.0 follows the
<a href="http://www.keplerproject.org/compat">package proposal</a>
for Lua 5.1 (see section <a href="#installation">Installation</a>
for more details).
</p>

<a name="download"></a>
<h2>Download</h2>

<p>
LuaFileSystem can be downloaded from its
<a href="http://luaforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=66">Lua Forge</a>
page.
</p>

<a name="new"></a>
<h2>What's new</h2>

<ul>
<li>[21/Jan/2005] Version 1.0 released</li>
<li>[10/Nov/2004] Version 1.0 beta released</li>
</ul>

<a name="installation"></a> 
<h2>Installation</h2>

<p>LuaFileSystem is distributed as a pair of C source and header
files. The distribution provides a <tt>Makefile</tt> prepared to
compile the library and install it. The file <tt>config</tt> should
be edited to suit the needs of the aimed platform.</p>

<p>LuaFileSystem follows the
<a href="http://www.keplerproject.org/compat">package proposal</a>
for Lua 5.1, therefore this package should be "installed".
In other words,
if you are using Lua 5.0, the files <tt>compat-5.1.c</tt> and
<tt>compat-5.1.h</tt> must be used in the compilation and the file
<tt>compat-5.1.lua</tt> must be installed in the <tt>LUA_PATH</tt>.
If you are using Lua 5.1, nothing should be done.</p>

<a name="credits"></a> 
<h2>Credits</h2>

<p>LuaFileSystem was designed by Roberto Ierusalimschy,
Andr&eacute; Carregal and Tom&aacute;s Guisasola as part of the
<a href="http://www.keplerproject.org">Kepler Project</a>
which holds its copyright.</p>
