To, be, posix, or, not, posix...?

[Meino.Cramer@...]

Hi,

currently I am experimenting with a embedded system and
need funktions like sleep, ppoll and such in lua.

I installed luaposix, because both were documented on the web.

But there was neither available via luaposix.

A "search" via luarocks shows different other posix related
stuff...

I am confused...

Is there anything better than luaposix which has more posix stuff...

Or didn't I understand something fundamental... ? ;)

HELP! 8))))

Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards,
Meino

PS:
These is what luarocks finds via "posix"
