Functions

func ParseFile

func ParseFile(filename string, src interface{}) (f *tree.File, err error)

ParseFile parses the source code of a single Lua file. It returns a root tree.File node representing the parsed file, any any errors that may have occurred while parsing.

The src argument may be a string, []byte, *bytes.Buffer, or io.Reader. In these cases, the filename is used only when recording positional information. If src is nil, the source is read from the file specified by filename.
