Lutok is a lightweight C++ API library for Lua.

Lutok provides thin C++ wrappers around the Lua C API to ease the interaction between C++ and Lua. These wrappers make intensive use of RAII to prevent resource leakage, expose C++-friendly data types, report errors by means of exceptions and ensure that the Lua stack is always left untouched in the face of errors. The library also provides a small subset of miscellaneous utility functions built on top of the wrappers.

Lutok focuses on providing a clean and safe C++ interface; the drawback is that it is not suitable for performance-critical environments. In order to implement error-safe C++ wrappers on top of a Lua C binary library, Lutok adds several layers or abstraction and error checking that go against the original spirit of the Lua C API and thus degrade performance.

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.

This package provides a FFI-based Lua API for ngx_http_lua_module or ngx_stream_lua_module.

This package provides a way to turn Lua code into Fennel code. This compiler does the opposite of what the Fennel compiler does.

LuaSec is a binding for OpenSSL library to provide TLS/SSL communication. It takes an already established TCP connection and creates a secure session between the peers.

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.

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.

This library makes libuv available to Lua scripts.

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

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.

The luaossl extension module for Lua provides comprehensive, low-level bindings to the OpenSSL library, including support for certificate and key management, key generation, signature verification, and deep bindings to the distinguished name, alternative name, and X.509v3 extension interfaces. It also binds OpenSSL's bignum, message digest, HMAC, cipher, and CSPRNG interfaces.

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.

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

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

The luaossl extension module for Lua provides comprehensive, low-level bindings to the OpenSSL library, including support for certificate and key management, key generation, signature verification, and deep bindings to the distinguished name, alternative name, and X.509v3 extension interfaces.

Fnlfmt is a tool for automatically formatting Fennel code in a consistent way, following established lisp conventions.

This library makes libuv available to Lua scripts.

This package provides Lua table recycling pools for LuaJIT.

This package provides Lua LRU cache based on the LuaJIT FFI.

LuaSec is a binding for OpenSSL library to provide TLS/SSL communication. It takes an already established TCP connection and creates a secure session between the peers.

This is the official OpenResty branch of LuaJIT. It is not to be considered a fork, since changes are regularly synchronized from the upstream LuaJIT project. This package also enables the Lua 5.2 compat mode needed by some projects.
