Module `Lua_aux_lib`Source

The Lua Auxiliary Library (OCaml binding)

Difference with the original Lua Auxiliary Library

Here is a list of functions of which you should read documentation:

Missing functions: luaL_addsize, luaL_prepbuffer
Notably different functions: error, newstate
Special remarks: checklstring

Types definitions

Sourcetype buffer

See luaL_Buffer documentation.

Sourcetype reg = string * Lua_api_lib.oCamlFunction

See luaL_reg documentation.

Constant values

Sourceval refnil : int

Value returned by `luaL_ref` and `luaL_unref`. See luaL_ref and luaL_unref documentation.

Sourceval noref : int

Value returned by `luaL_ref` and `luaL_unref`. See luaL_ref and luaL_unref documentation.

The Auxiliary Library functions

Sourceval addchar : buffer -> char -> unit

See luaL_addchar documentation.

NOTE: this function is not a binding of the original luaL_addchar, it's rather an OCaml function with the same semantics.

Sourceval addlstring : buffer -> string -> unit

See luaL_addlstring documentation.

NOTE: this function is not a binding of the original luaL_addlstring, it's rather an OCaml function with the same semantics.

The function luaL_addsize is not present because the type Lua_aux_lib.buffer and related functions have been reimplemented in OCaml, and luaL_addsize is not needed.

Sourceval addstring : buffer -> string -> unit

See luaL_addstring documentation.

NOTE: this function is an alias of Lua_aux_lib.addlstring

Sourceval addvalue : buffer -> unit

See luaL_addvalue documentation.

NOTE: this function is not a binding of the original luaL_addvalue, it's rather an OCaml function with the same semantics.

Sourceval argcheck : Lua_api_lib.state -> bool -> int -> string -> unit

See luaL_argcheck documentation.

Sourceval argerror : Lua_api_lib.state -> int -> string -> 'a

See luaL_checklong documentation.

Sourceval checklstring : Lua_api_lib.state -> int -> string

See luaL_checklstring documentation.

NOTE:The original len argument is missing because, unlike in C, there is no impedance mismatch between OCaml and Lua strings.

NOTE: this function is not a binding of the original luaL_checklstring, it's rather an OCaml function with the same semantics.

Sourceval checkstring : Lua_api_lib.state -> int -> string

See luaL_checkstring documentation.

NOTE: this function is an alias of Lua_aux_lib.checklstring

Sourceval checknumber : Lua_api_lib.state -> int -> float

Source

val checkoption : 
  Lua_api_lib.state ->
  int ->
  string option ->
  string list ->
  int

See luaL_checkoption documentation.

NOTE: this function is not a binding of the original luaL_checkoption, it's rather an OCaml function with the same semantics.

Source

val checkudata : 
  Lua_api_lib.state ->
  int ->
  string ->
  [> `Userdata of 'a | `Light_userdata of 'a ] option

See luaL_checkudata documentation.

NOTE: this function is not a binding of the original luaL_checkudata, it's rather an OCaml function with the same semantics.

Sourceval dofile : Lua_api_lib.state -> string -> bool

See luaL_dofile documentation.

NOTE: this function is not a binding of the original luaL_dofile, it's rather an OCaml function with the same semantics.

Sourceval dostring : Lua_api_lib.state -> string -> bool

NOTE: this function is not a binding of the original luaL_error, it's rather an OCaml function with the same semantics.

Warning: this function has a different behavior with respect to the original luaL_error because the conversion specifiers are not restricted as specified in the Lua documentation, but you can use all the conversions of the Printf module.

Sourceval newstate : ?max_memory_size:int -> unit -> Lua_api_lib.state

See luaL_newstate documentation.

NOTE: this function is not a binding of the original luaL_newstate, it's rather an OCaml function with the same semantics.

An optional parameter, not available in the original luaL_newstate, provide the user the chance to specify the maximum memory (in byte) that Lua is allowed to allocate for this state.
