tolua(1)

✨ tolua — bestie edition 💅

okay so tolua is a little helper program from the Tolua manual (section 1, the user commands girlies 🫶) and she's here to help you build apps with the tolua library for the Lua scripting language. lua language binding development helper program, periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tolua [ options ] file

like. options, then a file. that's the whole vibe.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically tolua is a program to help in building applications using the tolua library for the Lua scripting language. that's literally her whole job and she eats every time 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

the command line options are, and yes we're doing all of them, no skipping 🙅‍♀️

• -v — print version information. little "hi who am i" moment 🎀
• -o file — set the output file; the default is stdout. if you don't say where she's going, she's going to your terminal bestie 😭
• -H file — create an include file. yes ma'am, extra file, we love to see it 🦋
• -n name — set the package name; the default is the input file root name. she'll figure out her own name unless you tell her otherwise 💅
• -p — parse only. just vibes, no output.
• -P — parse and print structure information (for debugging). she's showing you her diary 🔥
• -h — print usage information. the classic "help me help you" 🫶

⚠️ okay important one: should the input file be omitted, stdin is assumed; in that case, the package name must be explicitly set. like, you have to pass -n, no cap. she can't guess her own name from stdin, that's not a thing 🙈

👑 AUTHOR 👑

this manual page was written by Filip Van Raemdonck <mechanix@debian.org> and Jimmy Kaplowitz <jimmy@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). iconic of them honestly, and yes the "may be used by others" part means you too, she's not gatekeeping 🌈

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🎀 this was the Tolua manual, tolua(1), dated 04 Aug 2002 — yeah she's a vintage queen and she still slays 💜 bye ily, go parse something 🌸
