net.server_epoll: Add option to defer accept() until data available This is a Linux(?) socket option that delays the accept signal until there is data available to read. E.g. with HTTP this might mean that a whole request can be handled without going back trough another turn of the main loop, and an initial client <stream> can be responded to. This may have effects on latency and resource use, as the server does not need to allocate resources until really needed.

local data = {}
local getinfo = debug.getinfo;
local function linehook(ev, li)
	local S = getinfo(2, "S");
	if S and S.source and S.source:match"^@" then
		local file = S.source:sub(2);
		local lines = data[file];
		if not lines then
			lines = {};
			data[file] = lines;
			for line in io.lines(file) do
				lines[#lines+1] = line;
			end
		end
		io.stderr:write(ev, " ", file, " ", li, " ", lines[li], "\n");
	end
