luaposix
Lua bindings for POSIX APIs, enabling system-level programming from Lua scripts.
What is luaposix?
luaposix is a library that provides Lua bindings for POSIX APIs, enabling Lua scripts to perform system-level operations such as file handling, process control, and other POSIX-compliant functions. It solves the problem of accessing low-level operating system features from the high-level Lua scripting language, bridging the gap between Lua's simplicity and system programming needs.
Lua developers and system programmers who need to write scripts that interact with POSIX system APIs, such as those building system utilities, automation tools, or embedded applications on POSIX-compliant platforms.
Developers choose luaposix for its lightweight, direct wrappers around POSIX APIs, compatibility with multiple Lua versions including LuaJIT, and its strict adherence to POSIX standards without platform-specific extensions, ensuring reliable cross-platform behavior.
