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 file's line count more efficiently than calling get_lines and then counting the result.
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
