# luarocks search Query the LuaRocks servers. ## Usage `luarocks search [--porcelain] [--source] [--binary] { [] | --all }` Lists files available on LuaRocks servers. `` is a substring of a rock name to filter by. The search can be narrowed further narrowed down using a version. To list files for all rocks pass `--all`. If `--porcelain` is passed, machine-friendly output is produced. If `--source` is passed, only rockspecs and source rocks are shown. If `--binary` is passed, only binary and pure-Lua rocks are shown. Rocks not supporting version of Lua used by LuaRocks are not listed. The `luarocks search` command queries remote repositories. To query your local repository (the rocks you have installed), use [luarocks list](luarocks_list.md). ## Example ``` luarocks search socket ```
