.TH VALID_OBJECT 4

.SH NAME
valid_object - allows control over which objects can be loaded

.SH SYNOPSIS
int valid_object(object obj);

.SH 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.
