EMILUA(1) General Commands Manual EMILUA(1) NAME Emilua - Lua execution engine SYNOPSIS emilua [OPTION]... SCRIPT_FILE emilua -h|--help emilua --version DESCRIPTION Emilua glues a LuaJIT interpreter to the Boost.Asio execution engine by exposing fiber and async IO APIs. It also allows multiple Lua VMs to share the same execution context and to communicate with each other through actor-inspired APIs. Threading capabilities are also exposed. In short, Emilua is a complete execution engine for Lua. If SCRIPT_FILE is a directory, the file init.lua inside this directory is executed. OPTIONS --main-context-concurrency-hint HINT Use HINT=1 to inform spawn_context_threads() won't be called from the main execution context and enable a few optimisations. Recompile Emilua with the proper configure flags to enable even more aggressive optimizations. Check https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_72_0/doc/html/boost_asio/overview/core/concurrency_hint.html for more info. Use HINT=unsafe-io to enable even further optimizations. As long as you're only running Lua code, your program is still safe (despite the parameter name). Check https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_88_0/doc/html/boost_asio/overview/core/configuration.html for more info. Use HINT=unsafe to enable even further optimizations. As long as you're only running Lua code, your program is still safe (despite the parameter name). However it'll disable threading completely. Check https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_88_0/doc/html/boost_asio/overview/core/configuration.html for more info. The default is HINT=0. --main-context-scheduler-task-usec MICROSECONDS The maximum time, in microseconds, that the scheduler will wait for its reactor task to complete. A value of -1 means that no limit is placed on this wait time. May be set to 0 to enable CPU-bound spinning. --main-context-scheduler-wait-usec MICROSECONDS The maximum time, in microseconds, that the scheduler will wait on its wake-up event in an idle thread (i.e. a thread that is not otherwise executing a handler or waiting on the reactor). A value of -1 means that no limit is placed on this wait time. May be set to 0 to enable CPU-bound spinning in an execution context that is being run on multiple threads. --main-context-reactor-preallocated-io-objects ALLOCATIONS The number of internal reactor I/O object states to allocate at construction. The reactor implementation uses per I/O object state to track things like the queue of outstanding operations. These state objects are recycled once the I/O object is destroyed, but new ones are allocated if there are no unused state objects currently available. If an upper bound on the number of I/O objects is known at construction time, this configuration option can be set to ensure that no allocations occur after construction is complete. --test Run the application with _CONTEXT="test". This _CONTEXT propagates to imported modules and is meant to trigger the execution of unit tests written in every module from the application. This _CONTEXT won't propagate to imported external modules. -h, --help Show help and exit. --version Show version and exit. ENVIRONMENT EMILUA_COLORS=1 Disable colour support auto-detection and force colour output on log messages. EMILUA_COLORS=0 Disable colour support on log messages altogether. EMILUA_PATH A colon-separated list of directories to augment the default search path for modules. The modules from this search set have higher priority than the ones in the default search path. On Windows, the list is semicolon-separated. EMILUA_LOG_LEVELS A comma-separated list of log specs. Each spec is a colon-separated pair where second element is a number indicating maximum log level (inclusive) and the first element indicates the affected log category. You can optionally pass a spec containing just the log level that will affect the default category as the first spec. Example: EMILUA_LOG_LEVELS="2,glib:7,dbus:3" emilua src/init.lua AUTHOR Vincius dos Santos Oliveira Emilua 0.12.1 2025-11-24 EMILUA(1)
