With a count different from zero, the hook is called after every count instructions. |

When called without arguments, debug.sethook turns off the hook. |

When the hook is called, its first parameter is a string describing the event that has triggered |

its call: 'call', 'return' (or 'tail return', when simulating a return from a tail call), 'line', |

|
Inside a hook, you can call getinfo with level 2 to get more information about the running function |
|
(level 0 is the getinfo function, and level 1 is the hook function), unless the event is 'tail return'. |

In this case, Lua is only simulating the return, and a call to getinfo will return invalid data. |

<Overload retVal="void" descr=" |
|
Loads the given module. The function starts by looking into the package.loaded table to |
|
determine whether modname is already loaded. If it is, then require returns the value stored |
|
at package.loaded[modname]. Otherwise, it tries to find a loader for the module. |
|
|
|
To find a loader, require is guided by the package.loaders array. By changing this array, |
|
we can change how require looks for a module. The following explanation is based on the |
|
default configuration for package.loaders. |
|
|
|
First require queries package.preload[modname]. If it has a value, this value (which should |
|
be a function) is the loader. Otherwise require searches for a Lua loader using the path |
|
stored in package.path. If that also fails, it searches for a C loader using the path stored |
|
in package.cpath. If that also fails, it tries an all-in-one loader (see package.loaders). |
|
|
|
Once a loader is found, require calls the loader with a single argument, modname. If the |
|
loader returns any value, require assigns the returned value to package.loaded[modname]. |
|
If the loader returns no value and has not assigned any value to package.loaded[modname], |
|
then require assigns true to this entry. In any case, require returns the final value of |
|
package.loaded[modname]. |
|
|
|
If there is any error loading or running the module, or if it cannot find any loader for |
|
the module, then require signals an error. |

|
a string in a form suitable to be safely read back by the Lua interpreter: the string is |

written between double quotes, and all double quotes, newlines, embedded zeros, and backslashes |

string.format('%q', 'a string with ''quotes'' and \n new line') |

<KeyWord name="package.searchpath" func="yes"> |

<Overload retVal="void" descr=" |

Searches for the given name in the given path. |
|
|
|
A path is a string containing a sequence of templates separated by semicolons. For each template, |
|
the function replaces each interrogation mark (if any) in the template with a copy of name wherein |
|
all occurrences of sep (a dot, by default) were replaced by rep (the system's directory separator, by default), |
|
and then tries to open the resulting file name. |
|
|
|
For instance, if the path is the string |
|
|
|
'./?.lua;./?.lc;/usr/local/?/init.lua' |
|
the search for the name foo.a will try to open the files ./foo/a.lua, ./foo/a.lc, and /usr/local/foo/a/init.lua, |
|
in that order. |
|
|
|
Returns the resulting name of the first file that it can open in read mode (after closing the file), |
