This directory contains some sample programs using LuaSocket. This code
is not supported.

    listener.lua            -- socket to stdout
    talker.lua              -- stdin to socket

listener.lua and talker.lua are about  the simplest applications you can
write  using  LuaSocket.  Run   

	'lua listen.lua'  and  'lua talk.lua'

on different terminals. Whatever you type on talk.lua will be
printed by listen.lua.

    b64.lua
    qp.lua
    eol.lua

These are tiny programs that perform Base64, Quoted-Printable and
end-of-line marker conversions.

    lpr.lua                 -- lpr client

This is a cool program written by David Burgess to print files using the
Line Printer Daemon protocol, widely used in Unix machines.  It uses the
lp.lua implementation, in the etc directory.  Just run 
'lua lpr.lua <filename> queue=<printername>' and the file will print!

    cddb.lua                -- CDDB client

This is the first try on a simple CDDB client. Not really useful, but one
day it might become a module. 

    daytimeclnt.lua         -- day time client

Just run the program to retrieve the hour and date in readable form from
any server running an UDP daytime daemon.

    echoclnt.lua            -- UDP echo client
    echosrvr.lua            -- UDP echo server

These are a UDP echo client/server pair. They work with other client and
servers as well.

    tinyirc.lua             -- irc like broadcast server

This is a simple server that  waits simultaneously on two server sockets
for telnet connections.  Everything it receives from  the telnet clients
is  broadcasted to  every other  connected client.  It tests  the select
function and shows  how to create a simple server  whith LuaSocket. Just
run tinyirc.lua and  then open as many telnet connections  as you want
to ports 8080 and 8081.

    check-memory.lua        -- checks memory consumption

This is just to see how much memory each module uses. 

Good luck,
Diego.
