lua curses example using luaposix

Question

As I understood curses are integrated into the luaposix project. Since I am using a OpenWRT which is very limited linux environment,and it runs ash for shell, I would like to develop some curses text-based menus, or better to say a textbased user interface that runs on OpenWRT.

I have found that luaposix 35.1.1 is available as an opkg (already compiled) for the OpenWRT device. The OpenWRT system does run LUA v5.1.5.

My questions is where can I found a curses example that utilizes luaposix for making a simple text based menu? I have googled and found nothing to start with.

In order to learn and code the curses finding a relevant tutorial or a guide is really handy.

Please note I do not want to use other libraries, or solutions other than luaposix.

Answer 1

As I understood curses are integrated into the luaposix project.

lcurses is not integrated into luaposix anymore:

For a while, luaposix contained support for curses functionality too, but now it has its own lcurses repository again, where it is being maintained separately.

An example is given on the documentation site.
