在任何应用程序中，访问操作系统级别的功能通常都是必需的，并且它随操作系统库一起提供。下表列出了可用的功能。
| Sr.No. | Library / Method & Purpose |
|---|---|
| 1 |
os.clock () Returns an approximation of the amount in seconds of CPU time used by the program. |
| 2 |
os.date ([format [, time]]) Returns a string or a table containing date and time, formatted according to the given string format. |
| 3 |
os.difftime (t2, t1) Returns the number of seconds from time t1 to time t2. In POSIX, Windows, and some other systems, this value is exactly t2-t1. |
| 4 |
os.execute ([command]) This function is equivalent to the ANSI C function system. It passes command to be executed by an operating system shell. Its first result is true if the command terminated successfully, or nil otherwise. |
| 5 |
os.exit ([code [, close]) Calls the ANSI C function exit to terminate the host program. If code is true, the returned status is EXIT_SUCCESS; if code is false, the returned status is EXIT_FAILURE; if code is a number, the returned status is this number. |
| 6 |
os.getenv (varname) Returns the value of the process environment variable varname, or nil if the variable is not defined. |
| 7 |
os.remove (filename) Deletes the file (or empty directory, on POSIX systems) with the given name. If this function fails, it returns nil, plus a string describing the error and the error code. |
| 8 |
os.rename (oldname, newname) Renames file or directory named oldname to newname. If this function fails, it returns nil, plus a string describing the error and the error code. |
| 9 |
os.setlocale (locale [, category]) Sets the current locale of the program. locale is a system-dependent string specifying a locale; category is an optional string describing which category to change: “all”, “collate”, “ctype”, “monetary”, “numeric”, or “time”; the default category is “all”. The function returns the name of the new locale, or nil if the request cannot be honored. |
| 10 |
os.time ([table]) Returns the current time when called without arguments, or a time representing the date and time specified by the given table. This table must have fields year, month, and day, and may have fields hour (default is 12), min (default is 0), sec (default is 0), and isdst (default is nil). For a description of these fields, see the os.date function. |
| 11 |
os.tmpname () Returns a string with a file name that can be used for a temporary file. The file must be explicitly opened before its use and explicitly removed when no longer needed. |
下面显示了一个使用常见数学函数的简单示例。
-- Date with format
io.write("The date is ", os.date("%m/%d/%Y"),"\n")
-- Date and time
io.write("The date and time is ", os.date(),"\n")
-- Time
io.write("The OS time is ", os.time(),"\n")
-- Wait for some time
for i=1,1000000 do
end
-- Time since Lua started
io.write("Lua started before ", os.clock(),"\n")
当我们运行上面的程序时，我们将得到与下面类似的输出。
The date is 01/25/2014
The date and time is 01/25/14 07:38:40
The OS time is 1390615720
Lua started before 0.013
上面的示例只是一些常见示例，我们可以根据需要使用OS库，因此请尝试使用所有功能，以使其更加熟悉。如上所述，有诸如remove之类的功能可以帮助删除文件，而execute等功能可以帮助我们执行OS命令。
