# The devel/luacopas,lua52 port

## lua52copas-1.1.6p2 – coroutine oriented portable asynchronous services for lua

## Description

    Copas is a dispatcher based on coroutines that can be used by TCP/IP
    socket request/response servers. It uses LuaSocket as the interface with
    the TCP/IP stack.

    A server registered with Copas should provide a handler for requests and
    use Copas socket functions to send the response. Copas loops through
    requests and invokes the corresponding handlers.

    Since Copas is coroutine based, using it within a pcall or xpcall context
    does not work with Lua 5.1 yielding. If you need to use those functions
    we strongly suggest using Xavante's coxpcall, a coroutine safe version
    of the Lua 5.1 protected calls.
