-This is luac, the Lua compiler.
-There are man pages for it in both nroff and html in ../../doc.
-
-luac translates Lua programs into binary files that can be loaded later.
-The main advantages of pre-compiling chunks are: faster loading, protecting
-source code from user changes, and off-line syntax error detection.
-luac can also be used to learn about the Lua virtual machine.
-
-Usage: luac [options] [filenames]. Available options are:
- - process stdin
- -l list
- -o name output to file `name' (default is "luac.out")
- -p parse only
- -s strip debug information
- -v show version information
- -- stop handling options
-
-luac is also an example of how to use the internals of Lua (politely).
