EMILUA(3em)

📦 version 0.12.1, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the EMILUA(3em) page from the Emilua reference, and it's all about Emilua - Lua execution engine. Main character energy for your Lua execution engine documentation moment 🧚

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

local system = require "system"
system.get_ld_library_directories() -> file_descriptor[]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

system.get_ld_library_directories() obtains and returns a list of file descriptors using this method, no cap:

  1. Query RTLD_DI_SERINFO for the executable, ignoring repeated paths.
  2. Open the directories for the query’s results, ignoring any that fails.
  3. If the calling process was spawned from Emilua using spawn_vm(), also acquire duplicates from the file descriptors sent through the parameter subprocess.ld_library_directories.

That's the whole vibe: it's collecting file descriptors and handing them back as file_descriptor[] 🫶

🔮 FUTURE DIRECTIONS 🔮

New parameters might be added in the future to control the value returned by this function. So like… future tea, not current tea. There are no extra knobs in this version, bestie ⭐
