Quick question about Lua stand-alone interpreter
I saw this function in the lua.c file called dotty(). I have a feeling that it takes line-by-line input, is this correct?

That's correct, it's basically the REPL.
That function technically works on a chunk-by-chunk basis. The loadline function does the actual line-by-line input, until it gets a complete chunk to execute.
