NetCore's Lua Repository: Telesto:About

What is it?

Telesto is repository of various modules made for the fantastic Lualanguage.

Some of them are unix-y in nature, some are fully portable.

Modules

config

Load and access Lua configuration files that can be written without the complexities of the full-blown language. An example from Tethys SMTP config file:

tethys = "/usr/local/tethys"
daemon.daemonize = true
daemon.pid_file = "/var/run/tethys-%s.pid"
bind.host = "0.0.0.0"
--bind.port = 10025
bind.port = 25
bind.reply_host = "net-core.org"
bind.uid = 89 -- vpopmail
bind.gid = 89 -- vpopmail
relay.allow_ip =
{
        ["127.0.0.1"] = true,
}

lpc (Lua Process Call)

Allows Lua scripts to call external processes while capturing both their input and output(in contrast to Lua's popen function that can only capture one or the other).

daemon

Allows Lua scripts to become Unix daemons easily.

fam

Bindings to the FAM library.

dns

Bindings to the Unix resolv library to request DNS informations not available to LuaSocket.

lsyslog

Allows Lua scripts to log into the system's syslog daemon. It also implements a LuaLogging extension to use it in existing projects easily.
