Luxio - Lightweight UNIX I/O and POSIX binding for Lua
------------------------------------------------------
Now:
0. Supports Lua 5.1 and Lua 5.2.
1. Reasonably good coverage of POSIX and BSD Sockets, including IPv6,
and some GNU extensions.
2. Meant to be buildable anywhere that is POSIX.1-1996. If it's not,
there's a bug. These are likely, as I have nowhere other than
Linux to test.
3. Low-level. You get the return values and the errno for the bound
functions where possible. Others take a table to fill in, or
may return tables.
4. High-level wrapper library providing nice IO access and to misc.
utility functions. Generates useful errors in assert()able form,
and provides meaningful __tostring metamethods to aid debugging.
5. A high-level poll()-based event dispatch library.
6. Sub-process handling library (read/write io.popen with job control).
7. A prototype POSIX Message Queue-based IPC scheme that can serialise
most simple Lua values. (No closures, userdata, etc)
8. Liberal licence. (Same as Lua's.)
Future:
0. Well-documented.
1. Well-tested.
2. Complete POSIX coverage (where appropriate).
3. Better socketing, specifically for datagram sockets.
4. Advanced features like file descriptor passing.
How to build:
0. Type "make".
1. Optionally, type "make install".
