1 | \subsection{Lua scripting language} | ||
2 | |||
3 | To quote from the Lua website (\url{http://www.lua.org}), Lua is a ``powerful, | ||
4 | fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language''. Select a \fname{.lua} file | ||
5 | in the \setting{File Browser} to run it. For more information on programming | ||
6 | in Lua, please see \url{http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/} and | ||
7 | \url{http://www.lua.org/pil/}. | ||
8 | |||
9 | There are a few exceptions/additions to the Lua support in Rockbox: | ||
10 | \begin{description} | ||
11 | \item[No floating point support.] The number type in Lua is usually float, | ||
12 | however in the Rockbox implementation it is integer. | ||
13 | \item[Non-supported libraries.] The coroutine, debug, file, io, math | ||
14 | and package libraries are not supported. | ||
15 | \item[Partially-supported libraries.] The os library is only partially | ||
16 | supported. | ||
17 | \item[Additional libraries.] The bitlib library is integrated to support | ||
18 | bitwise operators. See \url{http://luaforge.net/projects/bitlib} and | ||
19 | \url{http://lua-users.org/wiki/BitwiseOperators}. | ||
20 | \end{description} | ||
21 | |||
22 | Documentation of the API is still a work in progress, and the API itself is | ||
23 | not finalised. For the latest information, see \wikilink{PluginLua}.\\ | ||

25 | \note{Please note that if a script does not provide a way to exit, then | ||
26 | the only way to exit will be to reset the \dap.} \ No newline at end of file | ||
