Description

Loads and runs libraries. <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> require(packagename) </source>

Roughly, require does the same job as dofile but require searches for the file in a path. Because of that, require is the preferred function in Lua for loading libraries.

Parameters

packagename: (string) library to load
