How to execute any code when opening the lua shell? In bash , for example, there is ~/.bashrc .

    from man lua :

    LUA_INIT_5_2 or LUA_INIT, in that order. If the contents is of the form '@filename', then the filename is executed. Otherwise, the statement was executed.

    my free translation:

    at the very beginning, even before processing the command line, lua checks the contents of the LUA_INIT_5_2 environment variable (for version 5.2) or LUA_INIT, in that order. if the content is of the form @имя_файла , the file with that name is executed. otherwise, the string is treated as a lua expression and executed.

    so on the same ~/.bashrc you can add something like:

     export LUA_INIT="@/путь/к/файлу"

    and this file will be a kind of analogue of the initialization file.

    however, it will be executed not only when an interactive mode is called.

      @val, probably after analyzing the arguments. - aleksandr barakin
