Count Lines (LCC.web_file.line_count)

Signature

count, err = LCC.web_file.line_count(path, timeout?)

Parameters

• path
  String. File whose lines should be counted.
• timeout
  Number, optional. Request timeout in seconds, default 60.

Returns

• count
  Number. Total lines; nil on failure.
• err
  String or nil. Error description when the call fails.

Notes

Returns the line count directly, faster than fetching the entire file.
Works well for large files.

Example

local count, err = LCC.web_file.line_count("/logs/task.log")
if count then
    print("Log lines:" .. count)
end
