<p>The <b>eLua</b> reference manual presents in details all the modules that can be used from a Lua program running inside <b>eLua</b>. It doesn't cover the
standard Lua libraries, as the <atarget="_blank"href="http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/">Lua reference manual</a> already does a very good job at this.
Instead, it covers <b>eLua</b>-specific modules (most of which are linked with the <ahref="arch_platform.html">platform interface</a>) and some generic
"3rd party" modules that are included in <b>eLua</b> by default. There are two types of modules in <b>eLua</b>, both of which are presented
in this section:
<ul>
<li><b>generic modules</b>: they are available on all platforms and should behave the same on all platforms.</li>
