How do you set the "require" path when lua is embedded?

I have lua embedded in my game engine and a directory structure of lua files, and i am starting to use lots of lua scripts. I want to use "requrie" to optimize module includes, but i am unsure how to set the CPATH and PATH values because i have lua embedded. How can I set this up?

And also, since require looks for modules and not paths, can i use a * to look in all sub-folders of a folder, and does it look inside each lua file? and can the lua module files be "compiled" with the structure?

Thanks!

You can set package.cpath and package.path. Wildcards are not supported in paths.
