A lua library/'class' that implements a FIFO. Objects in the fifo can be of any type, including nil.

Compatible with Lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and LuaJIT

This project has been used in production since 2012.

Please see the doc/ folder.

You can generate a man page using pandoc:

pandoc doc/index.md -s -t man -o /usr/local/share/man/man3/fifo.lua.3

Available via luarocks: luarocks install fifo

Alternatively, you may just copy fifo.lua to your own project.

You will need

• busted
• luacov

Run busted -c to run tests You can then generate a coverage report by running luacov (it will write the report to luacov.report.out)

This was previously a component of lomp but was useful enough in other projects that I split it out.
