or
cmake -G Xcode
API
Global function
Description
print(...)
Print values to stdout
puts(string)
Print a string to stdout
ipairs(table)
Returns a iterator to iterate array part of a table
pairs(table)
Returns a iterator to iterate a table(array and hash)
type(value)
Returns type of a value
getline()
Returns a line string which gets from stdin
require(path)
Load the path module
IO table
Description
io.open(path [, mode])
Returns a file of path by mode when open success, otherwise returns nil and error description, mode is same with c function fopen, default is "r".
io.stdin()
Returns a file of stdin
io.stdout()
Returns a file of stdout
io.stderr()
Returns a file of stderr
File table
Description
file:close()
Close file
file:flush()
Flush write buffer
file:read(...)
Read data from file, arguments could be number(read number bytes, returns as a string), "*n"(read a number and returns the number), "*a"(read whole file, returns as a string. Returns a empty string when on the end of file), "*l"(read a line, returns as a string without '\n'), "*L"(read a line, returns as a string with '\n'). Returns nil when on end of file.
file:seek([whence [, offset]])
Sets and gets the file position. whence could be "set", "cur", "end", offset is a number. If seek success, then returns the file position, otherwise returns nil and error description. Called with no argument, returns current position.
file:setvbuf(mode [, size])
Set the buffering mode for the output file. mode could be "no"(no buffering), "full"(full buffering), "line"(line buffering), size is a number specifies the size of the buffer, in bytes.
file:write(...)
Write the value of each argument to file, arguments could be string and number. If success, returns the file, otherwise returns nil and error description.
