This is the home of luaposix, the successor to lhf's lposix:

http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/luaposix

There is a tendency to have naming confusion in Lua modules, with some
modules being called by various names (foo, luafoo, lfoo). I've been
meaning to write about this project for a while. Even in the LuaRocks
repository we haven't been entirely consistent about this -- at least
within LuaRocks each rock is referred to by a single name, but some
rock names have lprefixes and some don't, and similar variety happens
in module names.
