[luatex] shipout a page

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hi all,

> I thinks tex.shipout() is the right function, but which box do I need to ship out?

No:

foo.tex:
----------------------
\directlua{dofile("mknodes.lua")}

\bye
----------------------


mknodes.lua:
----------------------
local tenpt = 10 * 2^16

local r = node.new("rule")
r.width = tenpt
r.height = tenpt
r.depth = tenpt

local v = node.vpack(r)
node.write(v)

tex.shipout(255)
----------------------
Assertion failed: (0), function ship_out, file ../../../source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/pdf/pdfshipout.w, line 281.
