i'm not really worried about this yet. in terms of lua, my approach is probably going to be something along the lines of returning data about the conversion process in a lua table to c and using c to handle said data.

lua doesn't offer as extensive of a file io library as ruby because it is designed to only include what is maximally portable. luafilesystem isn't quite as portable as the base io libraries, so that's why it isn't included in the standard lua libraries. it will offer all of the functionality i need, though.
