lresty-cli

Just to work without Perl, only based on the Lua interpreter.

The lresty is a command-line tool, which can be used to run OpenResty's Lua
scripts directly off the command-line just like the lua or luajit cli tools.
It can be used to create various command-line utilities using OpenResty Lua.

This tool works by creating a head-less nginx instance, disabling daemon,
master_process, access_log, and other things it does not need.
No server {} is configured hence no listening sockets are involved at all.

The Lua code is initiated by the init_worker_by_lua directive and
run in the context of ngx.timer callback. So all of ngx_lua's Lua APIs available
in the ngx.timer callback context are also available in the resty utility.
