require flow and relation between package.searchers and package.searchpath

[Milind Gupta <milind.gupta@...>]

Hi,

     I am trying to understand how does the require function invoke package.searchpath and package.searchers. Does a searcher called searchpath function? If yes then that means the searcher is responsible for reading the paths and deciding which one is a lua fie (for example the lua module searcher) and then passing the paths one by one to package.searchpath?

Thanks,

Milind
