NAME

a protected lua require

local du = require "lib/dtutils"
local status, lib = du.prequire(req_name)
req_name - string - the filename of the lua code to load without the ".lua" filetype
DESCRIPTION

RETURN VALUE
status - boolean - true on success lib - if status is true, then the code, otherwise an error message
EXAMPLE
local status, lib = prequire("lib/dtutils.file")
which would load lib/dtutils/file.lua which would return a status of true and the reference to the library.
