Can anyone tell me the equivalent of the uci command

uci set uhttpd.test=uhttpd
uci commit

Add in lua seems to only be able to add an anonymous section

local uci = require "uci"
uci.add("uhttpd", "test") -- adds anonymous section

From the wiki:

Add new section "name" with type "type":

x:set("config", "name", "type")

-- real world example:
x:set("network", "wan6", "interface")
