Documentation for LuaC

There are several versions of LuaC: one (Thought's modified version) is available here; another is available here; and a third (called LuaC4) is available here. (There are also other versions, intended for other versions of Lua.)

The third version is part of the Win32 binary distribution of Lua 4.0.1, and is probably the most official.

Command-line options for the Thought's modified version:

usage: luac [options] [filenames]. Available options are:
- process stdin
-u undump
-l list
-o file output file (default is "luac.out")
-p parse only
-s strip debug information
-t test code integrity
-v show version information
