parser^#^
SUBTOPIC-creator^#^
-=[ Object Parser ]=-
Most creator commands can use the inbuilt object parser. The object
parser allows you to reference any object in the mud with relative ease.
For convenience <object> is a an object, or a list of objects.
When dealing with objects there are keywords used for locating
objects, these are: "users", "who", "room", "env", "me", "all".
<object> can described by position: position separators are "of"
and "in".
Eg. sword
sword in zilanthius
sword in bag in zilanthius
room of zilanthius
<object> can be described by clonename:
Eg. players/zilanthius/obj/sword#10
<object> can be described by its filename:
Eg. sword.c (if in current path)
/players/zilanthius/obj/sword.c
<object> can be described by a default name:
Default: "users", "who", "room", "env", "me".
<object> can be an object list: using the list separator ","
Eg. sword, axe, shovel
<object> can be an object list: using the keyword "all".
Eg. all in zilanthius
all swords in zilanthius
<object> can be an object list: using the keyword "users".
Eg. users
sword, users
all in users
<object> can be the first number of objects found.
Eg. 3 swords in zilanthius

DESCRIPTION
If an object that identifies to the name `str' is present,
then return it.
`str' can also be an object, in which case the test is much
faster and easier.
If `ob' is given, then the search is done in the inventory
of `ob', otherwise the object is searched for in the inven-
tory of the current object, and in the inventory of the
environment of the current object.

void reset(arg) {

process_string^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun^#^
EFUN process_string()
SYNOPSIS
string process_string(string combinestring);
DESCRIPTION
Processes a string by replacing specific syntactic patterns
with what is returned when the pattern is interpreted as a
function call description.
The syntactic patterns are on the form:
"@@function[:filename][|arg1|arg2....|argN]@@"
This is interpreted as a call:
filename->function(arg1, arg2, ....., argN)
Note that process_string does not recurse over returned
replacement values. If a function returns another syntactic
pattern, that description will not be replaced.
All such occurrences in 'combinestring' is processed and
replaced if the return value is a string. If the return
value is not a string the pattern will remain unreplaced.
Note that both object and arguments are marked optional with
the brackets and that the brackets are not included in the
actual pattern.
CAVEAT
This is usually used to support 'value by function call' in
the mudlib. It is wise to set the effuserid of the object
to 0 before using process_value as any function in any
object can be called with almost any arguments.
NOTES
The mudlib uses this extensively. It allow static global
strings to be given variability without resorting to writing
new local functions to override inherited functions. Most
functions that use strings and do writes can use a form of
process_string() that is slightly enhanced. The function
process_msg() is is found in <process.h>. It has the same
syntax as process_string() with the following enhancements.
Filename can be replaced with,
$this_object()$
$this_player()$
$environment()$
$previous_object()$
$environment(this_player())$
EXAMPLE
A string:
"You are chased by @@query_the_name:/obj/monster#123@@
eastward."
is replaced by:
"You are chased by the orc eastward."
Assuming that query_the_name in monster#123 returns "the
orc".

previous_object^#^
SUBTOPIC-amylaar^#^
SYNOPSIS
object previous_object()
object previous_object(int i)
DESCRIPTION
Returns an object pointer to the object that did a
call_other() to the current object, if any. There are two
exceptions for previous_object(). When the object calls a own
function with a call_other() the previous_object() will be
unchanged and when a destructed object calls a function of the
current object previous_object() will return 0.
If the optional arg is given, the call_other()s are followed
back i times (i.e. previous_object(2) returns the caller of
the caller). 0 <= i <= caller_stack_depth()-1
EXAMPLE
int security() {
object prev;
if(!(prev=previous_object()));
else if(getuid(prev)!=getuid(this_object()));
else if(geteuid(prev)!=geteuid(this_object()));
else return 1;
return 0;
}
void high_sensible_func() {
if(!security())
return;
...
}
This example shows how we can check if the last call to a
function of the current object is secure or if we should abort
execution.

SYNOPSIS
void preload(string file)
DESCRIPTION
Load the object with the given file name, that was returned by
epilog(). It is task of the epilog()/preload() pair to ensure
the validity of the given strings (e.g. filtering out comments
and blank lines). For preload itself a call_other(file, "???")
s sufficient, but it should be guarded by a catch() to avoid
premature blockings. Also it is wise to change the master's
euid from root_uid to something less privileged for the time
of the preload.

prepare_destruct^#^
SUBTOPIC-amylaar^#^
SYNOPSIS
mixed prepare_destruct(object obj)
DESCRIPTION
Prepare the destruction of the object obj. Return 0 if the
object is ready for destruction, any other value will abort
the attempt. If a string is returned, an error with the string
as message will be issued.
The interpreter calls this function whenever an object shall
be destructed. It expects, that this function cleans the
inventory of the object, or the destruct will fail.
Furthermore, the function could notify the former inventory
objects that their holder is under destruction (useful to move
users out of rooms which re updated); and it could announce
systemwide the destruction(quitting) of users.
Strange things will happen if the mastor object does not
provide this function.

^#^
privilege_violation^#^
SUBTOPIC-amylaar^#^
SYNOPSIS
int privilege_violation(string op, mixed who, mixed arg3, mixed arg4)
DESCRIPTION
Validate the execution of a privileged operation.
op denotes the requested operation, who is the object
requesting the operation (file_name or object pointer), arg3
and arg4 are additional arguments, depending on the operation.
The function should return >0 to grant the privilege, 0 to
indicate that the caller was probably misleaded and the error
might be fixed, and anything else to indicate a real
violation, that will be handled as run time error.
The privileged operations are:
bind_lambda Bind a lambda-closure to object arg3.
call_out_info Return an array with all call_out
informations.
nomask simul_efun Attempt to get an efun via efun:: that is
shadowed by a nomask type simul_efun.
rename_object The object who tries to rename the object
arg3 to the name arg4.
send_imp Send UDP-data to host arg3.
set_auto_include_string Set the string automatically included
by the compiler into every object.
get_extra_wizinfo Get the additional wiz-list info for user
arg3.
set_extra_wizinfo Set the additional wiz-list info for user
arg3.
set_extra_wizinfo_size Set the size of the additional user
info in the wiz-list to arg3.
set_this_object Set this_object() to arg3.
shadow_add_action Add an action to function arg4 that is
shadowed by the object arg3.
wizlist_info Return an array with all wiz-list
information.
call_out_info() can return the arguments to functions and
lambda closures to be called by call_out(); you should
consider that read access to closures, mappings and arrays
means write access and/or other privileges.
wizlist_info() will return an array which holds, among others,
the extra wizlist field. While a toplevel array, if found,
will be copied, this does not apply to nested arrays or to any
mappings. You might also have some sensitive closures there.
send_imp() should be watched as it could be abused to mess up
the IMP.
The xxx_extra_wizinfo operations are necessary for a proper
wizlist and should therefore be restricted to admins.
All other operations are potential sources for direct security
breaches - any use of them should be scrutinized closely.
