Interface hilbish.module

native module loading

Introduction

The hilbish.module interface provides a function to load Hilbish plugins/modules. Hilbish modules are Go-written plugins (see https://pkg.go.dev/plugin ) that are used to add functionality to Hilbish that cannot be written in Lua for any reason.

To make a valid native module, the Go plugin has to export a Loader function with a signature like so: func(*rt.Runtime) rt.Value.

rt in this case refers to the Runtime type at https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/arnodel/golua@master/runtime#Runtime

Hilbish uses this package as its Lua runtime. You will need to read it to use it for a native plugin.
