Re: LUA stack values to API?

["terenctb" <terenctb@...>]

OK just being sure here....

In LUA...

cow = function(moo, bleat)

In API

moo = (int)lua_tonumber(L,1);
bleat = (int)lua_tonumber(L,2);

lua_pushnumber(L,5);
return 1;

In LUA...
???? Do I need to call anything to clean up my parameters???
Or do I need to call a parameter to clean up my L state 
externally..possibly who ever called the lua_tobuffer?.
