-lua - Lua interpreter
-<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>

-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
-<B>lua</B>
-is the stand-alone Lua interpreter.
-It loads and executes Lua programs,
-either in textual source form or
-in precompiled binary form.
-(Precompiled binaries are output by
-<B>luac</B>,
-the Lua compiler.)
-<B>lua</B>
-can be used as a batch interpreter and also interactively.
-<P>
-The given
-<I>options</I>
-(see below)
-are executed and then
-the Lua program in file
-<I>script</I>
-is loaded and executed.
-The given
-<I>args</I>
-are available to
-<I>script</I>
-as strings in a global table named
-<B>arg</B>.
-If these arguments contain spaces or other characters special to the shell,
-then they should be quoted
-(but note that the quotes will be removed by the shell).
-The arguments in
-<B>arg</B>
-start at 0,
-which contains the string
-'<I>script</I>'.
-The index of the last argument is stored in
-<B>arg.n</B>.
-The arguments given in the command line before
-<I>script</I>,
-including the name of the interpreter,
-are available in negative indices in
-<B>arg</B>.
-<P>
-At the very start,
-before even handling the command line,
-<B>lua</B>
-executes the contents of the environment variable
-<B>LUA_INIT</B>,
-if it is defined.
-If the value of
-<B>LUA_INIT</B>
-is of the form
-'@<I>filename</I>',
-then
-<I>filename</I>
-is executed.
-Otherwise, the string is assumed to be a Lua statement and is executed.
-<P>
-Options start with
-<B>'-'</B>
-and are described below.
-You can use
-<B>'--'</B>
-to signal the end of options.
-<P>
-If no arguments are given,
-then
-<B>"-v -i"</B>
-is assumed when the standard input is a terminal;
-otherwise,
-<B>"-"</B>
-is assumed.
-<P>
-In interactive mode,
-<B>lua</B>
-prompts the user,
-reads lines from the standard input,
-and executes them as they are read.
-If a line does not contain a complete statement,
-then a secondary prompt is displayed and
-lines are read until a complete statement is formed or
-a syntax error is found.
-So, one way to interrupt the reading of an incomplete statement is
-to force a syntax error:
-adding a
-<B>';'</B>
-in the middle of a statement is a sure way of forcing a syntax error
-(except inside multiline strings and comments; these must be closed explicitly).
-If a line starts with
-<B>'='</B>,
-then
-<B>lua</B>
-displays the values of all the expressions in the remainder of the
-line. The expressions must be separated by commas.
-The primary prompt is the value of the global variable
-<B>_PROMPT</B>,
-if this value is a string;
-otherwise, the default prompt is used.
-Similarly, the secondary prompt is the value of the global variable
-<B>_PROMPT2</B>.
-So,
-to change the prompts,
-set the corresponding variable to a string of your choice.
-You can do that after calling the interpreter
-or on the command line
-(but in this case you have to be careful with quotes
-if the prompt string contains a space; otherwise you may confuse the shell.)
-The default prompts are "&gt; " and "&gt;&gt; ".
-<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
-<P>
-<B>-</B>
-load and execute the standard input as a file,
-that is,
-not interactively,
-even when the standard input is a terminal.
-<P>
-<B>-e </B><I>stat</I>
-execute statement
-<I>stat</I>.
-You need to quote
-<I>stat </I>
-if it contains spaces, quotes,
-or other characters special to the shell.
-<P>
-<B>-i</B>
-enter interactive mode after
-<I>script</I>
-is executed.
-<P>
-<B>-l </B><I>name</I>
-call
-<B>require</B>('<I>name</I>')
-before executing
-<I>script</I>.
-Typically used to load libraries.
-<P>
-<B>-v</B>
-show version information.
