Add luaproc and LuaJIT libraries.
Two versions of LuaJIT, the stable release, and the dev version. Try the dev version first, until ih fails badly.

16 | .SH DESCRIPTION | ||
17 | .B lua | ||
18 | is the stand-alone Lua interpreter. | ||
19 | It loads and executes Lua programs, | ||
20 | either in textual source form or | ||
21 | in precompiled binary form. | ||
22 | (Precompiled binaries are output by | ||
23 | .BR luac , | ||
24 | the Lua compiler.) | ||
25 | .B lua | ||
26 | can be used as a batch interpreter and also interactively. | ||
27 | .LP | ||
28 | The given | ||
29 | .I options | ||
30 | (see below) | ||
31 | are executed and then | ||
32 | the Lua program in file | ||
33 | .I script | ||
34 | is loaded and executed. | ||
35 | The given | ||
36 | .I args | ||
37 | are available to | ||
38 | .I script | ||
39 | as strings in a global table named | ||
40 | .BR arg . | ||
41 | If these arguments contain spaces or other characters special to the shell, | ||
42 | then they should be quoted | ||
43 | (but note that the quotes will be removed by the shell). | ||
44 | The arguments in | ||
45 | .B arg | ||
46 | start at 0, | ||
47 | which contains the string | ||
48 | .RI ' script '. | ||
49 | The index of the last argument is stored in | ||
50 | .BR arg.n . | ||
51 | The arguments given in the command line before | ||
52 | .IR script , | ||
53 | including the name of the interpreter, | ||
54 | are available in negative indices in | ||
55 | .BR arg . | ||
56 | .LP | ||
57 | At the very start, | ||
58 | before even handling the command line, | ||
59 | .B lua | ||
60 | executes the contents of the environment variable | ||
61 | .BR LUA_INIT , | ||
62 | if it is defined. | ||
63 | If the value of | ||
64 | .B LUA_INIT | ||
65 | is of the form | ||
66 | .RI '@ filename ', | ||
67 | then | ||
68 | .I filename | ||
69 | is executed. | ||
70 | Otherwise, the string is assumed to be a Lua statement and is executed. | ||
71 | .LP | ||
72 | Options start with | ||
73 | .B '\-' | ||
74 | and are described below. | ||
75 | You can use | ||
76 | .B "'\--'" | ||
77 | to signal the end of options. | ||
78 | .LP | ||
79 | If no arguments are given, | ||
80 | then | ||
81 | .B "\-v \-i" | ||
82 | is assumed when the standard input is a terminal; | ||
83 | otherwise, | ||
84 | .B "\-" | ||
85 | is assumed. | ||
86 | .LP | ||
87 | In interactive mode, | ||
88 | .B lua | ||
89 | prompts the user, | ||
90 | reads lines from the standard input, | ||
91 | and executes them as they are read. | ||
92 | If a line does not contain a complete statement, | ||
93 | then a secondary prompt is displayed and | ||
94 | lines are read until a complete statement is formed or | ||
95 | a syntax error is found. | ||
96 | So, one way to interrupt the reading of an incomplete statement is | ||
97 | to force a syntax error: | ||
98 | adding a | ||
99 | .B ';' | ||
100 | in the middle of a statement is a sure way of forcing a syntax error | ||
101 | (except inside multiline strings and comments; these must be closed explicitly). | ||
102 | If a line starts with | ||
103 | .BR '=' , | ||
104 | then | ||
105 | .B lua | ||
106 | displays the values of all the expressions in the remainder of the | ||
107 | line. The expressions must be separated by commas. | ||
108 | The primary prompt is the value of the global variable | ||
109 | .BR _PROMPT , | ||
110 | if this value is a string; | ||
111 | otherwise, the default prompt is used. | ||
112 | Similarly, the secondary prompt is the value of the global variable | ||
113 | .BR _PROMPT2 . | ||
114 | So, | ||
115 | to change the prompts, | ||
116 | set the corresponding variable to a string of your choice. | ||
117 | You can do that after calling the interpreter | ||
118 | or on the command line | ||
119 | (but in this case you have to be careful with quotes | ||
120 | if the prompt string contains a space; otherwise you may confuse the shell.) | ||
121 | The default prompts are "> " and ">> ". | ||
122 | .SH OPTIONS | ||

125 | load and execute the standard input as a file, | ||
126 | that is, | ||

133 | You need to quote | ||

136 | or other characters special to the shell. | ||
137 | .TP | ||
138 | .B \-i | ||

145 | .BI require(' name ') | ||
