, which allows executing Lua code, with artorrent
package that has basic support for making direct RPC calls from a file:That's a little verbose to be a replacement for
rtorrent.rc
, so there's alsolua.import
, which uses the same "autocall" Lua magic for a simpler syntax:lua.execute.str
is mainly to allow events, but could it definitely use a more convenient syntax:Implements #490
