valid_object(4)          Driver Applies           valid_object(4)

NAME
     valid_object - allows control  over  which  objects  can  be
     loaded

SYNOPSIS
     int valid_object( object obj );

DESCRIPTION
     After loading an object, the driver will call valid_object()
     with the newly created object as its argument, in the master
     object.  If the function exists, and  returns  0,  then  the
     object  will  be  destructed  and the efun that caused it to
     load will error out.  If it does not exist,  or  returns  1,
     then  loading  will  proceed as normal.  In conjunction with
     'nomask' and the inherits() efun, this  could  allow  safely
     restricting destruct() via a simul_efun.
