xxd is a hexdump program, and the -i parameter of it makes it output C
code defining the data as an array.

Using a global variable just to pass a parameter to a chunk seems a little clumsy, why not do:

char *chunk =
"local parameter=(...) "
"print(parameter) "

"return {sometable=true}";

LUAMOD_API int luaopen_xtable (lua_State *L) {  luaL_loadstring(L, chunk); 

  luaL_loadstring(L, chunk);

  lua_pushliteral(L,"I am a parameter");

  lua_call(L,1,1);

  return 1;
}
