# fblualib: A collection of Lua / Torch utilities

FBLuaLib is a collection of Lua / Torch utilities developed at Facebook that

we've found useful. Some of these utilities are useful without Torch.

[LuaJIT](http://luajit.org/) is required, and we currently only support

x86_64 Linux.

* [C++ LuaUtils](fblualib/README.md) is a collection of C++ utilities useful

  for writing Lua extensions

* [fb.util](fblualib/util/README.md) is a collection of low-level Lua utilities

  that, in addition to being useful on their own, are depended upon by

  everything else. Does not require Torch.

* [fb.editline](fblualib/editline/README.md) is a command line editing library

  based on [libedit](http://thrysoee.dk/editline/). Does not require Torch.

* [fb.trepl](fblualib/trepl/README.md) is a configurable Read-Eval-Print loop

  with line editing and autocompletion. Does not require Torch (but has

  Torch-specific features if Torch is installed)

* [fb.debugger](fblualib/debugger/README.md) is a full-featured source-level

  Lua debugger. Does not require Torch.

* [fb.ffivector](fblualib/ffivector/README.md) is a vector of POD types or

  strings that does not count toward the Lua heap limit. Does not require

  Torch.

* [fb.python](fblualib/python/README.md) is a bridge between Lua and Python,

  allowing seamless integration between the two (enabling, for example,

  using [SciPy](http://www.scipy.org/) with Lua tensors almost as efficiently

  as with native `numpy` arrays; data between Lua tensors and the corresponding

  Python counterpart `numpy.ndarray` objects is shared, not copied). Requires

  Torch.

* [fb.thrift](fblualib/thrift/README.md) is a library for fast serialization

  of arbitrary Lua objects using [Thrift](https://github.com/facebook/fbthrift).

  Requires Torch.

* [fb.mattorch](fblualib/mattorch/README.md) is a library for reading

  and writing [Matlab](http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/) `.mat` files 

  from Torch without having Matlab installed.
