I do understand all of that already and I figured that much, but I have no idea where in the LuaSocket module exactly where the users who connect are stored. What table? How would I list everything in the table so I can dissect it? Let's say I'm using Copas and I have three users who connect to a very simple "chat" type of environment. There are no rooms, no special protocols. It's as simple as an echo server. My question is where all of these users are stored and how does Copas/LuaSocket know which user to send data to? That's what I'm looking for. If I knew this then writing the rest would be a relative breeze.
