Hi,

In https://latexref.xyz/_005copenin-_0026-_005copenout.html
it is written:

> Open a file for reading material, or for writing it. The number must be
> between 0 and 15, as in \openin3 (in LuaLaTeX number can be between 0
> and 255).

David Carlisle pointed out this 0 and 255 range for LuaTeX is
incorrect, and gave a test program.

     \documentclass{article}

     \begin{document}

     \immediate\openout100
     \immediate\openout200

     \end{document}

See conversation around

https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/59594255#59594255

To quote David Carlisle, "0-127 is the range".

Regards, Faheem Mitha
