NAME

luaL_loadstring — loads a string as a Lua chunk, function indicator [-0, +1, m]

SYNOPSIS

#include <lauxlib.h>

int
luaL_loadstring(lua_State *L, const char *s);

DESCRIPTION

luaL_loadstring() loads a string as a Lua chunk. This function uses lua_load(3) to load the chunk in the zero-terminated string s.

This function returns the same results as lua_load(3).

Also as lua_load(3), this function only loads the chunk; it does not run it.
