NAME

-luac - Lua compiler -

SYNOPSIS

-luac -[ -options -] [ -filenames -] -

DESCRIPTION

-luac -is the Lua compiler. -It translates programs written in the Lua programming language -into binary files that can be later loaded and executed. -

-The main advantages of precompiling chunks are: -faster loading, -protecting source code from accidental user changes, -and -off-line syntax checking. -

-Precompiling does not imply faster execution -because in Lua chunks are always compiled into bytecodes before being executed. -luac -simply allows those bytecodes to be saved in a file for later execution. -

-Precompiled chunks are not necessarily smaller than the corresponding source. -The main goal in precompiling is faster loading. -

-The binary files created by -luac -are portable only among architectures with the same word size and byte order. -

-luac -produces a single output file containing the bytecodes -for all source files given. -By default, -the output file is named -luac.out, -but you can change this with the --o -option. -

-In the command line, -you can mix -text files containing Lua source and -binary files containing precompiled chunks. -This is useful because several precompiled chunks, -even from different (but compatible) platforms, -can be combined into a single precompiled chunk. -

-You can use -'-' -to indicate the standard input as a source file -and -'--' -to signal the end of options -(that is, -all remaining arguments will be treated as files even if they start with -'-'). -

-The internal format of the binary files produced by -luac -is likely to change when a new version of Lua is released. -So, -save the source files of all Lua programs that you precompile. -

OPTIONS

-Options must be separate. -

--l -produce a listing of the compiled bytecode for Lua's virtual machine. -Listing bytecodes is useful to learn about Lua's virtual machine. -If no files are given, then -luac -loads -luac.out -and lists its contents. -

--o file -output to -file, -instead of the default -luac.out. -(You can use -'-' -for standard output, -but not on platforms that open standard output in text mode.) -The output file may be a source file because -all files are loaded before the output file is written. -Be careful not to overwrite precious files. -

--p -load files but do not generate any output file. -Used mainly for syntax checking and for testing precompiled chunks: -corrupted files will probably generate errors when loaded. -Lua always performs a thorough integrity test on precompiled chunks. -Bytecode that passes this test is completely safe, -in the sense that it will not break the interpreter. -However, -there is no guarantee that such code does anything sensible. -(None can be given, because the halting problem is unsolvable.) -If no files are given, then -luac -loads -luac.out -and tests its contents. -No messages are displayed if the file passes the integrity test. -

--s -strip debug information before writing the output file. -This saves some space in very large chunks, -but if errors occur when running a stripped chunk, -then the error messages may not contain the full information they usually do. -For instance, -line numbers and names of local variables are lost. -

--v -show version information. -

FILES

-luac.out -default output file -

DIAGNOSTICS

-Error messages should be self explanatory. -
