Example

Ok, this is an example of how you can make a mini project with fs.lua.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to make a custom fs module.

Directories

- fs.lua
- fslua.so
- main.lua

First, we need to initialize a module.
fs.lua

local fslua = require("fslua")
local module = {}

return module

Let's do some basic functions.

local fslua = require("fslua")
local module = {}

-- read file function
module.read = function(name)
    -- check if arguments exists
    assert(name, "Argument 1 missing.")
    -- calling C function
    local content = fslua.readfile(name)
    -- return value
    if type(content) ~= nil then return content else return "Could not open file(file does not exists)." end
end

-- write file function
module.write = function(name, toWrite)
    -- check if arguments exists
    assert(name, "Argument 1 missing.")
    assert(toWrite, "Argument 2 missing.")
    -- calling C function
    local success = fslua.writefile(name, toWrite)
    -- return value
    return success
end

return module

Now, we can use the functions.
main.lua

local fs = require("fs")
local file_content = fs.read("fs.lua")
print("file's content: "..file_content)

lua main.lua

End
