LuaSocket is a <a href="http://www.lua.org">Lua</a> extension library

and UDP transport layers, and a set of Lua modules that add support for

Communication in LuaSocket is performed via I/O objects. These can
represent different network domains. Currently, support is provided for TCP
and UDP, but nothing prevents other developers from implementing SSL, Local
Domain, Pipes, File Descriptors etc. I/O objects provide a standard
interface to I/O across different domains and operating systems.

corresponding I/O objects. Naturally, different I/O objects accept
different operations. The TCP and UDP objects are
introduced in the following sections, following a few words about
