<h2><a name="overview"></a>Overview</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Rings is a library which provides a way to create new Lua states from within
|
|
Lua. It also offers a simple way to communicate between the creator (master) and
|
|
the created (slave) states.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Rings is free software and uses the same <a href="license.html">license</a>
|
|
as Lua 5.1.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="status"></a>Status</h2>
|
|
|

|
|

<h2><a name="download"></a>Download</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Rings can be downloaded in source code from its

between lua_States and rings master and slave states, which is not true when coroutines/threads are involved.
