Lua package functions
Lua package functions

These are the functions in the "package" table.

The package manager is designed for scripters who need to use multiple files and load them in a consistent way.

See also the "require" and "module" functions in the Lua base functions page.

Some of the items in the package library are strings and tables, rather than functions to be called.
