LuaRocks - Check latest available version

Is there an API/command available so I can check what is the available latest version of a rock? Similar to say npm info xxx.

The best I can find is luarocks search xxx; was hoping there would be a better endpoint that provides a better-structured response than a string.

Update

Also, using luarocks search xxx does not do an exact match. For example, running luarocks search multipart returns 4 results because of multipart matches for names. But I do want to do an exact search; there is a package called multipart. How is that possible?

luarocks show (described here) has a --mversion flag that will return the current package version.

Otherwise, luarocks search is, as you already know, your option for querying what rocks (and their versions) are available.
