Archiving lua_state to disk/memory

[Brian Hook <public@...>]

Is there a simple way to archive an existing lua_state to disk (the
opposite of lua_dobuffer, e.g. a lua_writebuffer type of thing), or
should I just handle it myself by iterating over all the tables and
writing out the values?

I have some configuration files that are loaded and potentially
modified, and I'd like to write them out.  I don't mind parsing and
writing it out myself, but if something like this already exists, I'd
like to avoid the extra work.

Thanks,

Brian
