A library binding various POSIX APIs. POSIX is the IEEE Portable Operating System Interface standard. luaposix is based on lposix.

I am happy to announce release 34.1 of luaposix.

If you have moved to the new low-level APIs, and don't rely on the Lua backwards compatibility layer and convenience functions, you can safely omit those dependencies and use the C layer only.

luaposix's home page is at https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix/, with documentation at https://luaposix.github.io/luaposix.

Noteworthy changes in release 34.1 (2019-07-20) [stable]

Bugs Fixed

  • luke works with upgraded bootstrap luarocks version of require.

  • posix.glob.glob does not return a random errno on failure now, but
    new module constants GLOB_ABORTED, GLOB_NOMATCH or GLOB_NOSPACE.

  • posix.deprecated.clock_getres and posix.deprecated.clock_gettime work again.

New Features

  • posix.glob.glob supports now module constants as a second argument:
    GLOB_NOCHECK and GLOB_ERR.

  • posix.sys.socket now supports IPV6 link-local addresses.

  • use std.strict, std._debug and typecheck modules when available,
    otherwise behave normally without those additional runtime checks.

Install it with LuaRocks, using:

luarocks install luaposix 34.1
