Re: Call which function to initialize the package.loadlib features in 5.1?

[Matt Campbell <mattc@...>]

Hello Jason:

It's easiest to open all of the standard libraries at once by calling 
luaL_openlibs(L).  However, if you want to open the package library 
individually, you can do it like this:

 lua_pushcfunction(L, luaopen_package);
 lua_pushliteral(L, "package");
 lua_call(L, 1, 0);

The statements above push luaopen_package as a C function on the Lua 
stack, push the library name ("package") as an argument, and tell Lua to 
call the function, not leaving any return values on the stack.  This is 
the way that luaL_openlibs opens each of the standard libraries.

I hope this helps.
