Lua Interpreter with the use of new "require" and "requirelib" functions.
For my Mac OS X box, for instance, I place all files in
/Users/diego/tec/luasocket and set the following environment variables:
LUA_PATH=/Users/diego/tec/luasocket/?.lua
LUA_INIT=@/Users/diego/tec/luasocket/lua.lua

LUA_PATH=/Users/diego/tec/luasocket/?.lua;?.lua
LUA_PATHLIB=/Users/diego/tec/luasocket/?.dylib;?.dylib
With that, I can run any luasocket application with the command line:
lua -l socket <script>
lua <script>
as long as the script uses "require" to load the needed namespaces.
Much nicer than having to build a new executable just to initialize
LuaSocket!
tftp.lua -- Trivial FTP client
This module implements file retrieval by the TFTP protocol. Its main use
is to test the UDP code, but someone might find it usefull.
was to test the UDP code, but since someone found it usefull, I turned it
into a module that is almost official (no uploads, yet).
dict.lua -- Dict client
The dict.lua module started with a cool simple client for the DICT
protocol, written by Luiz Henrique Figueiredo. This new version has been
converted into a library, similar to the HTTP and FTP libraries, that can
be used from within any luasocket application. Take a look on the source
code and you will be able to figure out how to use it.
get.lua -- file retriever
This little program is a client that uses the FTP and HTTP code to
implement a command line file graber. Just run
lua -l socket get.lua <remote-file> [<local-file>]
lua get.lua <remote-file> [<local-file>]
to download a remote file (either ftp:// or http://) to the specified
local file. The program also prints the download throughput, elapsed

the LuaSocket library and the Lua language. It has not been thoroughly
tested, but it should work. Just run
