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.
