Re: How shall a Lua file handle be known?

[Michael Truog <mjtruog@...>]

Has anything changed where it is now possible to create
io.fdopen() or something similar in a separate library?

If so, is there now a library that has an implementation?
(it still seems like luaposix does not have fdopen())

Thanks,
Michael
