This directory contains some sample programs using LuaSocket. This code
is not supported.
listener.lua -- socket to stdout
talker.lua -- stdin to socket
listener.lua and talker.lua are about the simplest applications you can
write using LuaSocket. Run
'lua listen.lua' and 'lua talk.lua'
on different terminals. Whatever you type on talk.lua will be
printed by listen.lua.
b64.lua
qp.lua
eol.lua
These are tiny programs that perform Base64, Quoted-Printable and
end-of-line marker conversions.
lpr.lua -- lpr client
This is a cool program written by David Burgess to print files using the
Line Printer Daemon protocol, widely used in Unix machines. It uses the
lp.lua implementation, in the etc directory. Just run
'lua lpr.lua <filename> queue=<printername>' and the file will print!
cddb.lua -- CDDB client
This is the first try on a simple CDDB client. Not really useful, but one
day it might become a module.
daytimeclnt.lua -- day time client
Just run the program to retrieve the hour and date in readable form from
any server running an UDP daytime daemon.
echoclnt.lua -- UDP echo client
echosrvr.lua -- UDP echo server
These are a UDP echo client/server pair. They work with other client and
servers as well.
tinyirc.lua -- irc like broadcast server
This is a simple server that waits simultaneously on two server sockets
for telnet connections. Everything it receives from the telnet clients
is broadcasted to every other connected client. It tests the select
function and shows how to create a simple server whith LuaSocket. Just
run tinyirc.lua and then open as many telnet connections as you want
to ports 8080 and 8081.
check-memory.lua -- checks memory consumption
This is just to see how much memory each module uses.
Good luck,
Diego.
