API

Global function	Description
print(...)	Print values to stdout
puts(string)	Print a string to stdout
ipairs(table)	Returns a iterator to iterate array part of a table
pairs(table)	Returns a iterator to iterate a table(array and hash)
type(value)	Returns type of a value
getline()	Returns a line string which gets from stdin
require(path)	Load the path module

IO table	Description
io.open(path [, mode])	Returns a file of path by mode when open success, otherwise returns nil and error description, mode is same with c function fopen, default is "r".
io.stdin()	Returns a file of stdin
io.stdout()	Returns a file of stdout
io.stderr()	Returns a file of stderr

File table	Description
file:close()	Close file
file:flush()	Flush write buffer
file:read(...)	Read data from file, arguments could be number(read number bytes, returns as a string), "*n"(read a number and returns the number), "*a"(read whole file, returns as a string. Returns a empty string when on the end of file), "*l"(read a line, returns as a string without '\n'), "*L"(read a line, returns as a string with '\n'). Returns nil when on end of file.
file:seek([whence [, offset]])	Sets and gets the file position. whence could be "set", "cur", "end", offset is a number. If seek success, then returns the file position, otherwise returns nil and error description. Called with no argument, returns current position.
file:setvbuf(mode [, size])	Set the buffering mode for the output file. mode could be "no"(no buffering), "full"(full buffering), "line"(line buffering), size is a number specifies the size of the buffer, in bytes.
file:write(...)	Write the value of each argument to file, arguments could be string and number. If success, returns the file, otherwise returns nil and error description.

math.pow(x, y)	Same with c function pow
math.rad(x)	Returns the angle(given in degrees) in radians.
math.random([m [, n]])	Returns a uniform pseudo-random number. When called with no arguments, returns a real number in the range [0, 1). When called with number m, returns a integer in the range [1, m]. When called with number m and n, returns a integer in the range [m, n].
