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.
