NAME
     lua - Lua interpreter

SYNOPSIS
     lua [ options ] [ script [ args ] ]

DESCRIPTION
     lua  is  the stand-alone Lua interpreter.  It loads and exe-
     cutes Lua programs, either in textual source form or in pre-
     compiled  binary  form.  (Precompiled binaries are output by
     luac, the Lua compiler.)  lua can be used as a batch  inter-
     preter and also interactively.

     The  given options (see below) are executed and then the Lua
     program in file script is loaded and  executed.   The  given
     args  are  available  to script as strings in a global table
     named arg.  If these arguments contain spaces or other char-
     acters special to the shell, then they should be quoted (but
     note that the quotes will be removed  by  the  shell).   The
     arguments  in  arg  start  at  0,  which contains the string
     'script'.  The index of  the  last  argument  is  stored  in
     arg.n.   The  arguments  given  in  the  command line before
     script, including the name of the interpreter, are available
     in negative indices in arg.

     At  the  very  start, before even handling the command line,
     lua  executes  the  contents  of  the  environment  variable
     LUA_INIT,  if it is defined.  If the value of LUA_INIT is of
     the form '@filename', then filename is executed.  Otherwise,
     the string is assumed to be a Lua statement and is executed.

     Options start with '-' and are described below.  You can use
     '--' to signal the end of options.

     If  no  arguments  are given, then -v -i is assumed when the
     standard input is a terminal; otherwise, - is assumed.

     In interactive mode, lua prompts the user, reads lines  from
     the  standard input, and executes them as they are read.  If
     a line does not contain a complete statement,  then  a  sec-
     ondary  prompt  is displayed and lines are read until a com-
     plete statement is formed or a syntax error is  found.   So,
     one  way to interrupt the reading of an incomplete statement
     is to force a syntax error: adding a ';' in the middle of  a
     statement  is  a  sure way of forcing a syntax error (except
     inside multiline strings and comments; these must be  closed
     explicitly).   If  a line starts with '=', then lua displays
     the values of all the expressions in the  remainder  of  the
     line. The expressions must be separated by commas.  The pri-
     mary prompt is the value of the global variable _PROMPT,  if
     this  value  is  a  string; otherwise, the default prompt is
     used.  Similarly, the secondary prompt is the value  of  the

     global  variable  _PROMPT2.   So, to change the prompts, set
     the corresponding variable to a string of your choice.   You
     can  do that after calling the interpreter or on the command
     line (but in this case you have to be careful with quotes if
     the  prompt  string contains a space; otherwise you may con-
     fuse the shell.)  The default prompts are "> " and ">> ".

OPTIONS
     -    load and execute the standard input as a file, that is,
          not  interactively,  even  when the standard input is a
          terminal.

     -e stat
          execute statement stat.  You need to quote stat  if  it
          contains spaces, quotes, or other characters special to
          the shell.

     -i   enter interactive mode after script is executed.

     -l name
          call require('name') before  executing  script.   Typi-
          cally used to load libraries.

     -v   show version information.
