Emmanuel Lepage Vallee ded35502d5 doc: Add a section for utility libraries
Dedicated for the modules extensions developers will need, but that the
general "I only edit rc.lua" user wont.

Uli Schlachter 3a4bf103b3 Initialise Lua's pseudo-RNG from C from a good source
GLib has an internal pseudo-RNG that it initialises from /dev/urandom.
This commit adds code that uses this RNG to initialise various random
number generators that can be used by Lua.

This also removes some Lua code that initialises the random number
generator badly.

Uli Schlachter 675900407a Deprecate gears.filesystem.get_dir
It is a useless thin wrapper around other functions. It's better to use
these other functions directly.

Florian Gamböck a68cc783c9 Add function to check file executable bit
This is just a plain copy of the file_readable function, with "read"
replaced with "execute".

Daniel Hahler f533d0bfd8 doc: fix filesystem.make_parent_directories (#1739) 2017-04-18 15:40:57 +02:00
Uli Schlachter 4d0c9eb86e Rename filesystem.mkdir to make_directories
The longer name is a bit more self-explanatory. The plural is meant to
indicate that this recursively creates missing parent directories and
does not just try to create the single given target directory.

Since filesystem.mkdir() is part of the v4.1 release, a deprecation stub
is needed.

Uli Schlachter 48c15e4dfb g.fs.get_cache_dir: Ensure the dir exists
This makes get_cache_dir() try to ensure the cache directory that it
returns exists.
