Lua 5.3 adds several awesome features of particular interest to nmap including bitwise operators and integers, a utf8 library, and standard binary pack/unpack functions. In addition to adding Lua 5.3, this branch changes: o Complete removal of the NSE bit library (in C), It has been replaced with a new Lua library wrapping Lua 5.3's bit-wise operators. o Complete removal of the NSE bin library (in C). It has been replaced with a new Lua library wrapping Lua 5.3's string.pack|unpack functions. o The bin.pack "B" format specifier (which has never worked correctly) is unimplemented. All scripts/libraries which use it have been updated. Most usage of this option was to allow string based bit-wise operations which are no longer necessary now that Lua 5.3 provides integers and bit-wise operators. o The base32/base64 libraries have been reimplemented using Lua 5.3's new bitwise operators. (This library was the main user of the bin.pack "B" format specifier.) o A new "bits" library has been added for common bit hacks. Currently only has a reverse function. Thanks to David Fifield, Daniel Miller, Jacek Wielemborek, and Paulino Calderon for testing this branch.
Here is some documentation for Nmap, but these files are much less comprehensive than what you'll find at the actual Nmap documentation site ( https://nmap.org ).
