1 This directory contains some sample programs using
2 LuaSocket. This code is not supported.
4 listener.lua -- socket to stdout
5 talker.lua -- stdin to socket
7 listener.lua and talker.lua are about the simplest
8 applications you can write using LuaSocket. Run
10 'lua listener.lua' and 'lua talker.lua'
12 on different terminals. Whatever you type on talk.lua will
13 be printed by listen.lua.
17 This is a cool program written by David Burgess to print
18 files using the Line Printer Daemon protocol, widely used in
19 Unix machines. It uses the lp.lua implementation, in the
20 etc directory. Just run 'lua lpr.lua <filename>
21 queue=<printername>' and the file will print!
23 cddb.lua -- CDDB client
25 This is the first try on a simple CDDB client. Not really
26 useful, but one day it might become a module.
28 daytimeclnt.lua -- day time client
30 Just run the program to retrieve the hour and date in
31 readable form from any server running an UDP daytime daemon.
33 echoclnt.lua -- UDP echo client
34 echosrvr.lua -- UDP echo server
36 These are a UDP echo client/server pair. They work with
37 other client and servers as well.
39 tinyirc.lua -- irc like broadcast server
41 This is a simple server that waits simultaneously on two
42 server sockets for telnet connections. Everything it
43 receives from the telnet clients is broadcasted to every
44 other connected client. It tests the select function and
45 shows how to create a simple server whith LuaSocket. Just
46 run tinyirc.lua and then open as many telnet connections
47 as you want to ports 8080 and 8081.
