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 35.0 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 35.0 (2020-07-06) [stable]

Incompatible Changes

  • Internally, we use our own bitwise operation wrapper functions
    rather than bit32 where possible. This means bitwise operations
    when running under Lua 5.3+ work on 64bit integers.

Bugs Fixed

  • posix.deprecated.getrlimit and posix.deprecated.setrlimit pass
    tests again.

New Features

  • Initial support for Lua 5.4.

Install it with LuaRocks, using:

luarocks install luaposix 35.0
