+@file{~/.config/glirc/config}:
+
+@example
+extensions:
+  * path: \"../../.guix-profile/lib/glirc-lua.so\"
+    args: [\"example.lua\", @dots{}]
+@end example
+
+Also ensure that @file{example.lua} finds any Lua libraries it needs, e.g., by
+setting @env{LUA_PATH} and @env{LUA_CPATH} in glirc's run-time environment.")
