than it is in C, as the following sections will show.

<h3>Initializing the library</h3>
<p>
The core LuaSocket is almost entirely implemented in C. It is
usually available as a dynamic library which the interpreter can load
with the help of a loader module written in Lua.
Beginning with version 2.0 and following the Lua 5.0 trend, all LuaSocket
functionality is defined inside tables (or rather namespaces). No global
variables are ever created.
Namespaces are obtained with the <tt>require</tt> Lua function, which loads
and initializes any required library and returns the namespace.
For example, the core functionality or LuaSocket is usually available
from the "<tt>socket</tt>" namespace.

socket = require("socket")

<!-- More +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -->
<h3 id=more>Much more</h3>
<p> LuaSocket offers much more than TCP and UDP support. As the library
evolved, support for <a href=http.html>HTTP</a>, <a href=ftp.html>FTP</a>,
<a href=smtp.html>SMTP</a>, <a href=mime.html>MIME</a>, <a
href=url.html>URLs</a> and much more was made available.</a> These are
mostly implemented in Lua itself, with critical parts implemented in C for
efficiency</p>
