- Subject: Bug in the Lua 5.3 manual

I'm working on a project, using Lua 5.3, and for reasons, all the project
specific modules live under the namespace of "GLV-1". So far, the modules
written in Lua all load fine, but I do need one written in C. The Lua
manual states this about a '-' in the filename:
The fifth line is a mark to ignore all text after it when building
the luaopen_ function name. Default is '-'.
Okay. Testing this out ...
int luaopen_GLV_getuser(lua_State *L)
{
lua_pushboolean(L,1);
return 1;
}
I get:
GenericUnixPrompt> lua
Lua 5.3.5 Copyright (C) 1994-2018 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> getuser = require "GLV-1.getuser"
error loading module 'GLV-1.getuser' from file './GLV-1/getuser.so':
./GLV-1/getuser.so: undefined symbol: luaopen_1_getuser stack traceback:
[C]: in ?
[C]: in function 'require'
stdin:1: in main chunk
[C]: in ?
What? Checking Lua 5.2, I read:
The fifth line is a mark to ignore all text before it when building
the luaopen_ function name. Default is '-'.
So, is the behavior of Lua 5.3 wrong? Or is the manual wrong? I mean,
this:
int luaopen_1_getuser(lua_State *L)
{
lua_pushboolean(L,1);
return 1;
}
works:

> getuser = require "GLV-1.getuser"
-spc (Just curious really ... )
