# Installation
1. Download or clone this repository.
2. Replace the original `print.c` and `ldump.c` files in the official Lua 5.1 source directory with the modified versions from this repo.
3. Compile Lua as you normally would.
# Usage
Once you've recompiled Lua:
- Running `luac <file.lua>` will output all the binary data being written during compilation.
- Running `luac -l <file.lua>` or `luac -l -l <file.lua>` will output greater information about the instructions generated.
This is useful for exploring how Lua bytecode is structured.
