luatex \-\-lua=FILE [OPTION]... \FIRST\-LINE

luatex \-\-lua=FILE [OPTION]... &FMT ARGS
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
Run luaTeX on TEXNAME, usually creating TEXNAME.pdf. Any remaining COMMANDS are processed as luaTeX input, after TEXNAME is read.

Alternatively, if the first non\-option argument begins with a backslash, interpret all non\-option arguments as a line of luaTeX input.

Alternatively, if the first non\-option argument begins with a &, the next word is taken as the FMT to read, overriding all else. Any remaining arguments are processed as above.

If no arguments or options are specified, prompt for input.

If called as luatexlua it acts as lua interpreter.
