\the, \unexpanded, \detokenize, conversion commands (\number, \string, \meaning, …) and the \show family (TeX: The Program §464–§472, §1293–§1298, e-TeX and LuaTeX additions).

Modules§

conv
convert modifiers (LuaTeX numbering).
xray
xray modifiers.

Constants§

LUATEX_BANNER
LuaTeX’s banner, as \luatexbanner reports it.

Functions§

lua_escape
Escapes a string for use inside a Lua string literal (\luaescapestring): backslash, double quote, newline and carriage return get backslash escapes. NUL stays as is, like in LuaTeX (an escape \0 would swallow following digits, as in \01).
str_toks
Converts a string to character tokens: spaces become space tokens, everything else category 12 (str_toks).
