=== Introduction
Lua is a powerful light-weight programming language designed for extending
applications. Wireshark contains an embedded Lua 5.2 interpreter which
can be used to write dissectors, taps, and capture file readers
and writers. The interpreter is backwards compatible with Lua 5.1,

work with Lua 5.3 or greater.]
applications. Wireshark contains an embedded Lua interpreter which can
be used to write dissectors, taps, and capture file readers and writers.
Wireshark versions 4.2.x and earlier support Lua 5.1 and 5.2, and newer
versions support Lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4. All versions support the
Lua BitOp library.
If Lua is enabled, Wireshark will first try to load a file named `init.lua`
from the global link:{wireshark-users-guide-url}ChPluginFolders.html[_plugins directory_].
