luaL_register —
opens a library, function indicator [- (0|1), +1,
m]
#include
<lauxlib.h>
void
luaL_register(lua_State
*L, const char
*libname, const luaL_Reg
*l);
luaL_register()
opens a library.
When called with libname equal to
NULL, it simply registers all functions in the list
l (see luaL_Reg(3)) into the table
on the top of the stack.
When called with a non-null libname,
luaL_register 3 creates a new table t, sets it as
the value of the global variable libname, sets it as
the value of package.loaded[libname], and registers on it
all functions in the list l. If there is a table in
package.loaded[libname] or in variable
libname, reuses this table instead of creating a new
one.
In any case the function leaves the table on the top of the stack.
