There are a number of subtopics, or categories for help. If the help
is not relevant to you, you will not be shown that information.
^#^
call_other^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun^#^
EFUN call_other()
SYNOPSIS
unknown call_other(object ob, string func, arg1, ...);
DESCRIPTION
Calls a function in another object, with [optional]
argument(s). The return value is returned from the other
object, so it cannot be known at compile time and may need
to be cast if using type checking. The function named
`func' will be called in `ob', with arguments 3, 4, etc
given as arguments 1, 2, etc to `func' in `ob'. call_other
will return the return value of `func'.
There is a much more attractive way to do call_others:
ob->func( ... );
ie, call_other(ob, "query", "name"); could be written as:
ob->query("name");
EXAMPLE
void simple_who() {
int i, level;
string name;
for(i = 0; i < sizeof(users()); i++) {
name = (string)call_other(users()[i],"query_name");
level = (int)users()[i]->query_level();
write(level +"\t"+ name +"\n");
}
}

^#^
call_out^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun^#^
EFUN call_out()
SYNOPSIS
void call_out(string fun, int delay, mixed arg);
DESCRIPTION
Set up a call of function <fun> in this_object(). The call
will take place in <delay> seconds, with the argument <arg>
provided. <arg> can be of any type.
DO NOT use call_outs to make loops. If you want to use a
timed loop, use a heartbeat.
EXAMPLE
void init() {
add_action("acid","acid");
}

catch^#^
SUBTOPIC-efun^#^
EFUN catch()
SYNOPSIS
mixed catch(mixed expr);
DESCRIPTION
Evaluate <expr>. If there is no error, 0 is returned. If
there is a standard error, a string (with a leading '*')
will be returned.
The function throw() can also be used to immediately return
any value, except 0. catch() is not really a function call,
but a directive to the compiler.
The catch() is somewhat costly, and should not be used just
anywhere. Rather, use it at places where an error would
destroy consistency. It is used for instance in the login
sequence.
EXAMPLE
if(catch(move_object(clone_object(MAILER), this_object()))) {
write("Error Cloning Mailer.\n");
}

EFUN create_wizard()
SYNOPSIS
string create_wizard(string name, string domain)
DESCRIPTION
This function has been set up to work only in
player.c/wizard.c. It creates new home directories and
access objects for the player 'name'. If an optional domain
name is a new domain, it will create the new domain, and
make the player 'name' the domain lord. If it is not a new
domain it will add domain directories and access objects for
'name'.
This function is accessed through the command 'promote'
which is availible to SEC5 (50) security level wizards and
above.^#^

SYNOPSIS
string crypt(string str, string seed);
DESCRIPTION
Crypt the string <str> using the first two characters from

DESCRIPTION
Get information about all pending call outs. An array is
returned, where nearly every item in the array consists of 4
elements:
1. The object 2. The function 3. The delay to go 4. The optional
argument
But not every entry in the list looks like this. If the object
has been destructed in the meanwhile the entry will be an
empty array (or was it just a 0?).

SUBTOPIC-amylaar^#^
SYNOPSIS
int call_resolved(mixed result, object ob, string func, ...)
DESCRIPTION
Similar to call_other(). If ob->func() is defined and publicly
accessible, any of the optional extra arguments are passed to
ob->func(...). The result of that function call is stored in
result, which must be passed by reference.
If the current object is already destructed, or the ob does
not exist, or ob does not define a public accessible function
named func, call_resolved returns 0 as failure code, else 1
for success.
ob can also be a file_name.

clear_bit^#^
SUBTOPIC-amylaar^#^
SYNOPSIS
string clear_bit(string str, int n)
DESCRIPTION
Return the new string where bit n is cleared in string str.
Note that the old string str is not modified.
Each character contains 6 bits. So you can store a value
between 0 and 63 ( 2^6=64) in one character. Starting
character is the blank character " " which has the value 0.
The first charcter in the string is the one with the lowest
bits (0-5).
EXAMPLES
string s;
s=clear_bit("_",5);
Because "_" is the highest possible value (63), the variable s
will now contain the charcter "?" wich is equal to 31
(63-2^5=31).
string s;
s=clear_bit("?<",3);
s=clear_bit(s,8);
s will now contain the string "78". "?" equals 31 and "<"
equals 28. Now "?<" is equal to 31+28<<6=31+1792=1823 which is
in binary notation (highest bit on the right side)
11111000111. Now clearing the bit 3 and bit 8 (bit numbering
starts with zero) will result in 11101000011. The first 6 bits
are in decimal notation 23 and the next 6 are equal to 24. Now
the 23 is the character "7" and 24 is the "8". So the string s
contains "78".

int can_put_and_get()
DESCRIPTION
In compat mode, this function is used by the efun transfer().
Define this function in objects that are neither living nor
rooms if you want to make it possible to put something into
current object.
Return true if ok, otherwise 0. That means that default is
that it is not possible to put something into an object.

catch_msg^#^
SUBTOPIC-compatfn/driverfn^#^
SYNOPSIS
void catch_msg(mixed *arr, object obj)
DESCRIPTION
When say() or tell_room() are used with an array as message,
the array will be passed to catch_message() in all living
objects that can hear it, instead of writing to the user resp.
sending to catch_tell(). This can be used to implement
communication protocols between livings. The second denotes
the object that has sent the message.
SEE ALSO
say(E), tell_room(E), catch_tell(A)
^#^
catch_tell^#^
SUBTOPIC-compatfn/driverfn^#^
SYNOPSIS
void catch_tell(string)
DESCRIPTION
When a message is sent to a noninteractive user, via say(),
tell_object, tell_room() or write(), it will get to the function
catch_tell(string). This will enable communications between
NPCs and from a user to an NPC.
Also, if an interactive object is being shadowed and the
shadow has catch_tell() defined, it will receive all output
that would otherwise be written to the user.
If a message is sent by an interactive object, catch_tell() is
not called in that object, to prevent recursive calls. Thus
catch_tell() in interactive objects can be used to filter the
output that goes to the users.
The efun shout() sends to interactive objects only.

^#^
clean_up^#^
SUBTOPIC-compatfn/driverfn^#^
SYNOPSIS
int clean_up(int refcount)
DESCRIPTION
clean_up() is applied by the parser when an object hasn't been
used for a long time, to give it a possibility to
self-destruct. The refcount passed as argument will be 0 for
clone objects, 1 for a simple loaded object, and greater when
the object is cloned or inherited by some existing object. It
is recommended not to self_destruct the object when the
reference count is greater than one.
If clean_up returns 0, it will not be called again in that
object until it is swapped out and in again.
Returning a non-zero value is only recommended when the reason
why the object can't self-destruct is likely to vanish without
the object being touched, that is, when no local function is
called in it, (and in compat mode also when the object is not
being moved around).
A typical mud configuration defines the time to wait for
clean_up() so long that you can assert reset() has been
called since the object has been touched last time.
EXAMPLES
A clone of /std/drink defines clean_up() to self-destruct if
it is empty, not carried a living being and not touched for
a long time.
A room that inherits /std/room defines clean_up() to
self-destruct if it is neither inherited nor used as a
blueprint, is empty and was not entered for a long time.

create^#^
SUBTOPIC-compatfn/driverfn^#^
SYNOPSIS
void create()
DESCRIPTION
In native mode, this function will be called only once on
creation of the object (this is when the object will be loaded
or cloned). Inside this function all major initialization can
be done. The current user and the previous object are
defined but the object has no environment.
EXAMPLE
object cloner;
void create() {
cloner=this_player();
}
Initialize the global variable to hold the one who
created/cloned the object.

commandline^#^
SUBTOPIC-driver^#^
NAME
commandline
DESCRIPTION
The driver understands several command line options and
arguments.
-f<string>: When the master object is loaded and fully
operational after startup, the function flag()
with argument string is applied to the master
object for each occurence of -f in the command line.
-o : run in compat mode (thus sometimes also called
-o mode), instead of native mode. Note: the flag
is obsolete by now, the driver must be compiled
with the appropriate definitions in the config.h
instead.
-c : trace compilations.
-Dsymbol : Globally pre-#define symbol for preprocessor.
-D : without symbol, this logs specific trace messages
to /log/D_TRACE (if the driver was compiled for it)
-e : The number of occurences of the -e flag is
passed as argument to the epilog() function
in the master at startup time.
-N : Don't start the ip demon, that asynchronously
resolves IP numbers to IP names.
-M<master>: provide a different name for the master object.
-m<dir> : provide a different mudlib directory.
-ru<size> : set the size of the reserved user memory.
-rm<size> : set the size of the reserved master memory.
-rs<size> : set the size of the reserved system memory.
-E<cost> : set the maximum allowed evaluation cost.
--max_malloced : set maximum size of mallocable memory chunks.
--max_small_malloced : set max. size of mallocable memory chunks.
-u<port> : set the UDP port number for IMP communication.
-t : disable heart_beat and reset.
-d : run with debug.
-s<time> : Set the time between swapout attempts. -1 means
don't swap.
-y : If the driver has been compiled with YYDEBUG,
this will enable debug output for the LPC compiler.
<number> : the TCP port number to use for user connections.

DESCRIPTION
This function is caleld if the interpreter cannot find the
file for asn object to be loaded. The master object has now
the opportunity to return an object that will then serve as if
compiled from the given filename.
If 0 is returned, the usual ``Could not load descr for'' error
will occur.
^#^

SUBTOPIC-amylaar^#^
SYNOPSIS
object connect(void)
DESCRIPTION
Return a login object that the requested connection should be
bound to. Note that the connection is not bound yet.
The lfun logon() will be applied to the login after object
after binding the connection to it. That lfun has to return !=
0 to indicate success.

^#^
creator_file^#^
SUBTOPIC-amylaar^#^
SYNOPSIS
string creator_file(mixed ob)
DESCRIPTION
Return the name of the creator of a newly created object, i.e.
the name of the user that is responsible for the LPC source
file the object was loaded from. If the function returns 0,
the object can't be loaded and is destructed again
immediately.
In !compat mode, the returned string serves as the initial uid
(``cuid'') of the object. Objects whose cuid is the
backbone-id will then get the uid of the currently active user
as their userid instead.
Under compat mode this function is called as well.
If this function is not provided by the master object, no
other object can be loaded.
