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 '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.
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.
tftpclnt.lua -- Trivial FTP client
This module implements file retrieval by the TFTP protocol. Its main use
is to test the UDP code, but someone might find it usefull.
broadcast.lua -- Broadcast telnet server
This is a simple server that waits simultaneously on two server sockets for
telnet connections. Everything it receives from the telnet clients is
broadcast to every other connected client. It tests the select function and
shows how to create a simple server whith LuaSocket. Just run broadcast.lua
and then open as many telnet connections as you want to ports 8080 and
8081.
Good luck,
Diego.
