So I want to create api with handles (like in peripheral api. You wrap and create handle in variable and then call this handle). But how to do it?
Also i know i have been recently asking lotsa stuff but i am just learning :)/>

Handles are just tables.
function getHandle()
return {
say = function() print( "Hello World!" ) end,
}
end
local h = getHandle()
h.say()

thanks
Also, how do i return (in this function) stuff like my previous made array?
I mean like it reads file line by line in function and then i want my handler to return specific lines (handler).get(lineid)

You're better off just reading the whole file into a table and returning that.
Eg:
local function getFileLines(fileName)
local results = {}
for line in io.lines(fileName) do results[#results + 1] = line end
return results
end
local fileLines = getFileLines("someFile")
print(fileLines[3]) --> Prints the 3rd line of the file.
