-.SH NAME
-luac \- Lua compiler
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B luac
-[
-.I options
-] [
-.I filenames
-]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B luac
-is the Lua compiler.
-It translates programs written in the Lua programming language
-into binary files containing precompiled chunks
-that can be later loaded and executed.
-.LP
-The main advantages of precompiling chunks are:
-faster loading,
-protecting source code from accidental user changes,
-and
-off-line syntax checking.
-Precompiling does not imply faster execution
-because in Lua chunks are always compiled into bytecodes before being executed.
-.B luac
-simply allows those bytecodes to be saved in a file for later execution.
-Precompiled chunks are not necessarily smaller than the corresponding source.
-The main goal in precompiling is faster loading.
-.LP
-In the command line,
-you can mix
-text files containing Lua source and
-binary files containing precompiled chunks.
-.B luac
-produces a single output file containing the combined bytecodes
-for all files given.
-Executing the combined file is equivalent to executing the given files.
-By default,
-the output file is named
-.BR luac.out ,
-but you can change this with the
-.B \-o
-option.
-.LP
-Precompiled chunks are
-.I not
-portable across different architectures.
-Moreover,
-the internal format of precompiled chunks
-is likely to change when a new version of Lua is released.
-Make sure you save the source files of all Lua programs that you precompile.
-.LP
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-l
-produce a listing of the compiled bytecode for Lua's virtual machine.
-Listing bytecodes is useful to learn about Lua's virtual machine.
-If no files are given, then
-.B luac
-loads
-.B luac.out
-and lists its contents.
-Use
-.B \-l \-l
-for a full listing.
-.TP
-.BI \-o " file"
-output to
-.IR file ,
-instead of the default
-.BR luac.out .
-(You can use
-.B "'\-'"
-for standard output,
-but not on platforms that open standard output in text mode.)
-The output file may be one of the given files because
-all files are loaded before the output file is written.
-Be careful not to overwrite precious files.
-.TP
-.B \-p
-load files but do not generate any output file.
-Used mainly for syntax checking and for testing precompiled chunks:
-corrupted files will probably generate errors when loaded.
-If no files are given, then
-.B luac
-loads
-.B luac.out
-and tests its contents.
-No messages are displayed if the file loads without errors.
-.TP
-.B \-s
-strip debug information before writing the output file.
-This saves some space in very large chunks,
-but if errors occur when running a stripped chunk,
-then the error messages may not contain the full information they usually do.
-In particular,
-line numbers and names of local variables are lost.
-.TP
-.B \-v
-show version information.
-.TP
-.B \-\-
-stop handling options.
-.TP
-.B \-
-stop handling options and process standard input.

-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-Error messages should be self explanatory.
