[ANN] lsocket - Another library for sockets in lua

["Gunnar Zötl" <gz@...>]

Hi,

this message is to announce the availability of lsocket, another take of a
socket programming library for lua.

It is not intended to be a complete socket api, but easy to use and good enough
for most tasks. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported, as are tcp and udp, and also
IPv4 broadcasts and IPv6 multicasts.

With lsocket, I restrict myself to what I percieve as the most common use cases
of socket programming, and attempting to make those things
easy. Also, everything (apart from select, and, if you wish to count them, dns
resolutions) is non-blocking.

You can get lsocket from http://www.tset.de/lsocket

or via luarocks install lsocket.

Rgds,

Gunnar
