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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Penlight is a set of pure Lua libraries focusing on input data handling (such as reading configuration files), functional programming (such as map, reduce, placeholder expressions,etc), and OS path management. Much of the functionality is inspired by the Python standard libraries.

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

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.

This package provides Lua library for killing or sending signals to Linux processes.

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 Lua parser for djot, a light markup syntax. It can produce an AST, rendered HTML, or a stream of match tokens that identify elements by source position, which could be used for syntax highlighting or a linting tool.

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

This package provides a Lua parser for djot, a light markup syntax. It can produce an AST, rendered HTML, or a stream of match tokens that identify elements by source position, which could be used for syntax highlighting or a linting tool.

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.

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.

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.
