I want to know how luci web interface is calling uci for set and get?
Does the luci use uci linux command? or it's calling uci via libuci C functions ?

Luci call the uci through this file, lua/luci/model/uci.lua, which is written in lua by the encapsulating uci with lua API of C. This is very convenient to use.

Hope it will help.

So it's using the uci C functions and not the uci shell command

You can find the API here:
http://luci.subsignal.org/api/luci/modu … l.uci.html

I've been looking to the file to figure out whether wraps C or calls command and it seems to wrap /usr/lib/lua/uci.so. You can find the lua code here:

I hope it helps!
