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 --.

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

EXIT STATUS

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