It translates programs written in + the Lua programming language into binary files that can be + loaded and executed with lua_dofile in C or dofile in Lua. + + luac produces a single output file containing the bytecode + for all named source files. By default, the output file is + named luac.out, but you can change this with the -o option. + + You can use "-" to indicate stdin as a source file. + +OPTIONS + -d turns debugging on. + + -l produces a listing of the compiled bytecode for + Lua's virtual machine. + + -p parses sources files but does not generate any + output file. + + -v prints version information. + + -o outputfile + Name the output file output, instead of the + default luac.out.
