NAME
       rpmlua - RPM Lua interpreter

SYNOPSIS
       rpmlua [options] [LUA_SCRIPT] [-- ARG ...]

DESCRIPTION
       Run RPM internal Lua interpreter.

       Note: indexes start at 1 in Lua, so the program name is at arg[1]
       instead of the more customary index zero.

ARGUMENTS
       LUA SCRIPT
           A Lua script.

       ARG
           Options and arguments to be passed to SCRIPT_FILE. rpmlua stops
           processing at --.

OPTIONS
       -i, --interactive
           Run an interactive session after executing optional script or
           statement.

       --opts=OPTSTRING
           Perform getopt(3) option processing on the passed arguments
           according to OPTSTRING.

       -e "STATEMENT", --execute "STATEMENT"
           Execute a Lua statement before executing optional script.

EXIT STATUS
       On success, 0 is returned, a nonzero failure code otherwise.

EXAMPLES
       rpmlua test.lua
           Execute test.lua script file.

       rpmlua --opts=ab:c args.lua -- 1 2 3 -c -b5
           Execute args.lua script file with option processing.

       rpmlua -e "print(rpm.ver('1.0') < rpm.ver('2.0'))"
           Execute single statement to compare rpm versions.

       rpmlua -i
