flua: lposix: add more useful functions for general purpose scripts

[kevans]

Summary

unistd:

• _exit
• close
• fork
• getpid
• pipe
• read
• write

libgen:

• basename, dirname

stdlib:

• realpath

These are sufficient for a number of real world scenarios. In our first
application of them, we use the libgen+stdlib additions to grab the
script dir based on argv[0]. The unistd assortment is then used to
outsource a bunch of work to forks and report back to the main process.

Use allocf, matches lua's internal naming

I don't understand why you need lposix_alloc and lposix_free at all vs direct call to free and malloc?

Why this extra line?

Why changing style?

care to add SPDX headers while here?

Better form for a lua lib, though this one shouldn't see the light of day since it's a reimplementation of lposix so I could just simplify it.

overall looks good

is it ok to call this if inpath == NULL?

420

is it typical to use n for this? unless it's std lua convention maybe something more descriptive like narg?

[kevans]

Address comments; fix return consistency; a couple of missed return (3) and
one return (1) that should've been 3

D'oh, that should have had a return (3) otherwise the return value ends up being a bit nonsensical (and we leak two stack entries, iirc).

[imp]

So this looks generally good, modulo some error messages about having args having the function name and some not.

... and remove the boilerplate?

Close vs pclose in error message.

297

No name here? But close had one. Here and elsewhere

Why pclose?

lua_close() conflicts with the API function that releases a lua_State
