This directory contains some sample programs using LuaSocket as well as the automatic tests used to make sure the library is working properly. The files provided are: testsrvr.lua -- test server testclnt.lua -- test client testcmd.lua -- test command definitions To run the automatic tests on your system, make sure to compile the library with _DEBUG defined (check makefile) and then open two terminals. Run 'luasocket testsrvr.lua' on one of them and 'luasocket testclnt.lua' on the other. The programs should start talking to each other. listener.lua -- echo server talker.lua -- echo tester listener.lua and talker.lua are about the simplest applications you can write using LuaSocket. Run 'luasocket listen.lua' and 'luasocket talk.lua' on different terminals. Whatever you type on talk.lua will be printed by listen.lua. dict.lua -- dict client The dict.lua module is a cool simple client for the DICT protocol, written by Luiz Henrique Figueiredo. Just run it and enter a few words to see it working. Good luck, Diego.
