# Lua scripting for MCabber

This module creates lua interpreter environment and puts some lua
functions in it to interact with mcabber. Module provides command 'lua'
to run lua expressions in that environment.

Lua interface is available in api reference, built with 'docgen' help.

is or for reference. See also 'README' in 'examples' dir.
