LuaCOM is composed by the following elements:
- LuaCOM objects, which make COM objects available in Lua;
- LuaCOM API, a set of functions used to do a variety of
tasks (library initialization, object creation, implementation of
Automation interfaces in Lua, manipulation of connection points
etc.);
- Automation binding, which translates accesses on LuaCOM
objects to COM interface calls and COM accesses on an interface
implemented in Lua to Lua function calls or table accesses;
- LuaCOM type conversion rules, which govern the type conversion
between Lua and Automation types;
- LuaCOM parameter passing rules, which describe how LuaCOM
translate a Lua parameter list to a COM one and vice versa;
- other objects, like typelib, typeinfo, enumerator etc.
