SYNOPSIS

9       rpmlua  [{-e|--execute} “STATEMENT”] [{-i|--interactive}] [SCRIPT_FILE]

DESCRIPTION

13       Run RPM internal Lua interpreter.

15       Note: indexes start at 1 in Lua, so the program name is at  arg[1]  in‐

19              Run  an  interactive  session after executing optional script or

22       –opts=OPTSTRING
23              Perform getopt(3) option processing on the passed arguments  ac‐
24              cording to OPTSTRING.
25
26       -e|--execute
27              Execute a Lua statement before executing optional script.
