Session.lua
random_hash
Returns a base64 encoded hash, using _- as the extra characters, as these are safe for using in a URL.
INPUT:
hash size, in bits
OUTPUT:
A base64 encoded hash of at least bits length.
- HASH
- Comes from reading /dev/urandom
CODING EXAMPLE:
-- Set variable/Call for this library bobo = require "session" print(bobo.random_hash(100))
will output a hash from /dev/urandom that is 17 char long
hash_ip_addr
INPUT:
This library required the following inputs/parameters.
- ip address
OUTPUT:
This library deliverers the following output/parameters.
- HEX incoded ip address
CODING EXAMPLE:
-- Set variable/Call for this library
bobo = require "session"
print(bobo.hash_ip_addr("192.168.10.1))
Output could be:
c0a80a01
ip_addr_from_hash
INPUT:
This library required the following inputs/parameters.
- HEX encoded ip address
OUTPUT:
This library deliverers the following output/parameters.
- ip address
CODING EXAMPLE:
-- Set variable/Call for this library
bobo = require "session"
print(bobo.ip_addr_from_hash("c0a80a01")
Output could be:
192.168.10.1
serialize
INPUT:
This library required the following inputs/parameters.
- name
- What to use for the new elements
- value
- value: table to serialize
- saved
- not sure what its used of
OUTPUT:
This library deliverers the following output/parameters.
- string with the table serialized
CODING EXAMPLE:
-- Set variable/Call for this library
bobo = require "session"
t = {foo={1,2,3,4}, "one", "two", "bar", "baz"}
stuff = bobo.serialize(1,t)
print(stuff)
1 = {}
1[1] = "one"
1[2] = "two"
1[3] = "bar"
1[4] = "baz"
1["foo"] = {}
1["foo"][1] = 1
1["foo"][2] = 2
1["foo"][3] = 3
1["foo"][4] = 4
save_session
INPUT:
This library required the following inputs/parameters.
- sessionpath,session,sessiontable
OUTPUT:
This library deliverers the following output/parameters.
- true is success, false if error
CODING EXAMPLE:
-- Set variable/Call for this library
bobo = require "session"
print(bobo.save_session("tmp", session, sessiontable)
-- will print true is success
-- false if failed
