Re: Lua 5.2 Binary chunk format

Thank you, I've been looking at generated chunks, and I've noticed that the source name

this?

Does anyone here know of a similar document I could refer to for Lua 5.2? I would love to have a format specification I could use to update my code reading the blocks of data.

The format is essentially the same except for the VM instructions.
See the source at
	http://www.lua.org/source/5.2/ldump.c.html
	http://www.lua.org/source/5.2/lundump.c.html

or my bytecode inspector library, lbci:
