This directory contains some useful files and code.
Unlike the code in ../src, everything here is in the public domain.
-bin2c.c
- This program converts files to byte arrays that are automatically run
- with lua_dobuffer. This allows C programs to include all necessary Lua
- code, even in precompiled form. Even if the code is included in source
- form, bin2c is useful because it avoids the hassle of having to quote
- special characters in C strings.
- Example of usage: Run bin2c file1 file2 ... > init.h. Then, in your
- C program, just do #include "init.h" anywhere in the *body* of a
- function. This will be equivalent to calling
- lua_dofile(L,"file1"); lua_dofile(L,"file2"); ...
- Note that the Lua state is called "L". If you use a different name,
- say "mystate", just #define L mystate before you #include "init.h".
