• lfs.rmdir ==> winfile.rmdir
• lfs.attributes ==> winfile.attributes
• os.remove ==> winfile.remove
• os.rename ==> winfile.rename
• os.execute ==> winfile.execute
• os.getenv ==> winfile.getenv
• loadfile ==> winfile.loadfile
• dofile ==> winfile.dofile

luawinfile's Issues

windows下文件路径utf8问题

这种方式是否也可取，以最小修改方式对windows下的lua core打补丁？
或者按python3的PEP529？

Is it possible to backport to support Lua 5.1?

The project I code for, the Mudlet MUD client, provides a lua sub-system for our users to extend it's functionality. We are working towards getting it properly I18n-ised and we are embracing Unicode by using the UTF-8 encoding to support it. However for one platform (Windows) the file handling for non-ASCII characters in file names is really borked not working with file and path names containing such characters.

I think luawinfile will enable us to properly sort it out but we are tied for the foreseeable future to lua 5.1 though I see in the makefile that you want to compile luawinfile against 5.3 - is this a hard requirement or can it work with the older minor version?
