EMILUA(3em)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Emilua reference for 3em — Emilua is a Lua execution engine, periodt. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bestie, this is the whole setup:

local system = require "system"
system.out

💅 FUNCTIONS 💅

okay so here’s the full lineup, no cap:

💾 write_some(self, buffer: byte_span) → integer

Write data to stdout, bestie — and it blocks the current fiber until it completes or errs. It returns the number of bytes written. 💖

Note: First argument is ignored and it’s only there to make it have a stream-like interface.

🎀 dup(self) → file_descriptor

Creates a new file descriptor that refers to STDOUT_FILENO. iconic.

🌸 dup_from(self, oldd: file_descriptor)

Same as dup2(oldd, STDOUT_FILENO). Useful to redirect standard streams. oldd is not closed by this call.

Note: Only the master VM is allowed to use this function.

Tip: If you want to close the standard stream, replace it by a closed pipe instead. That’s safer.

🦋 isatty(self) → boolean

See isatty(3).

✨ tcgetpgrp(self) → integer

See tcgetpgrp(3).

💜 tcsetpgrp(self, pgid_id: integer)

See tcsetpgrp(3).
