Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Lars Wirzenius <l...@liw.fi> * Package name : luxio Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Rob Kendrick <rjek+lu...@rjek.com> * URL : http://www.rjek.com/software.html * License : MIT (Same as Lua) Programming Lang: Lua Description : Posix bindings for Lua
Lightweight UNIX I/O and POSIX binding for Lua 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) This package is needed as a dependency for Gitano, for which an ITP will be filed later. I will be co-maintaining this package with Daniel Silverstone. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
