This module adds UTF-8 support to Lua. It's compatible with Lua's own string module, and passes all string and pattern matching tests in Lua's test suite. It also adds some useful routines against UTF-8 features: - a convenient interface to escape Unicode sequences in strings. - string insert/remove, since UTF-8 substring extract may be expensive. - calculate Unicode width, useful when implementing e.g. console emulator. - a useful interface to translate Unicode offsets and byte offsets.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
