Pushing a Lua table

I have created a Lua table in C, but I'm not sure how to push that table onto the top of a stack so I can pass it to a Lua function.

Does anyone know how to do this?

This is my current code:

lua_createtable(state, libraries.size(), 0);
int table_index = lua_gettop(state);
for (int i = 0; i < libraries.size(); i++)
{
    lua_pushstring(state, libraries[i].c_str());
    lua_rawseti(state, table_index, i + 1);
}

lua_settable(state, -3);
