\subsection{Lua scripting language}
|
|
|
|
To quote from the Lua website (\url{http://www.lua.org}), Lua is a ``powerful,
|
|
fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language''. Select a \fname{.lua} file
|
|
in the \setting{File Browser} to run it. For more information on programming
|
|
in Lua, please see \url{http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/} and
|
|
\url{http://www.lua.org/pil/}.
|
|
|
|
There are a few exceptions/additions to the Lua support in Rockbox:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[No floating point support.] The number type in Lua is usually float,
|
|
however in the Rockbox implementation it is integer.
|
|
\item[Non-supported libraries.] The coroutine, debug and math libraries are
|
|
not supported.
|
|
\item[Partially-supported libraries.] The os and package libraries are only
|
|
partially supported.
|
|
\item[Additional libraries.] The bitlib library is integrated to support
|
|
bitwise operators. See \url{http://luaforge.net/projects/bitlib} and
|
|
\url{http://lua-users.org/wiki/BitwiseOperators}.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
Documentation of the API is still a work in progress, and the API itself is
|
|
not finalised. For the latest information, see \wikilink{PluginLua}.\\
|
|
|
|
\note{Please note that if a script does not provide a way to exit, then
|
|
the only way to exit will be to reset the \dap.} |
