I want to access the function myFunc and the local myVar from api2. The main program load the api1 and the api1 load the api2.
myProgram
----
os.loadAPI("api1")
-- I want to use the function myFunc from api2
--[[???]]
-- I want to print the local myVar from api2
print(--[[???]])
api1
-----
os.loadAPI("api2")
api2
-----
local myVar = "This is myVar"
function myFunc()
print("This is myFunc")
end
Thanks to anyone who help me.

Uh, api2.myFunc(), of course. You can't access local variables in APIs.

Thanks for api2.myFunc() . For the local var, I know I can't access it directly but I'm searching something that will create a kind of enum like colors.white and colors.orange that I will be able to load from the api2, I thought to create multiple functions but I want to know if there is a better way to do that.
Example with the Phonetic Alphabet:
api2.a = Alpha
abi2.b = Bravo
abi2.c = Charlie
…

Don't make it local. If you read the colors API, it's got a section that's a bit like this:
white = 1
orange = 2
magenta = 4
lightBlue = 8
etc.

Thanks. :)/>
Just want to clarify this by doing comparison with c#/c++ local == private and nothing == public, is there something else like protected or what ever?

local isn't the same as private, and there's no equivalent to protected.
