| 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 | |
| 'lua listener.lua' and 'lua talker.lua' | |
| on different terminals. Whatever you type on talk.lua will | |
| be printed by listen.lua. | |
| lpr.lua -- lpr client | |
| This is a cool program written by David Burgess to print | |
| files using the Line Printer Daemon protocol, widely used in | |
| Unix machines. It uses the lp.lua implementation, in the | |
| etc directory. Just run 'lua lpr.lua <filename> | |
| queue=<printername>' and the file will print! | |
| cddb.lua -- CDDB client | |
| This is the first try on a simple CDDB client. Not really | |
| useful, but one day it might become a module. | |
| 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. | |
| tinyirc.lua -- irc like broadcast server | |
| This is a simple server that waits simultaneously on two | |
| server sockets for telnet connections. Everything it | |
| receives from the telnet clients is broadcasted to every | |
| other connected client. It tests the select function and | |
| shows how to create a simple server whith LuaSocket. Just | |
| run tinyirc.lua and then open as many telnet connections | |
| as you want to ports 8080 and 8081. | |
| Good luck, | |
| Diego. |
