| SYNOPSIS |
| void flag(string arg) |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| Evaluate an argument given as option '-f' to the driver. |
| If several '-f' options are given, this function will be |
| called sequentially with all given arguments. |
| This function can be used to pass the master commands via |
| arguments to the driver. This is useful when building a new |
| mudlib from scratch. It is called only when the system is |
| started. |
| |
| EXAMPLE |
| // The code given implements these commands: |
| // '-fcall <ob> <fun> <arg>': call function <fun> in object <ob> with |
| // argument <arg>. |
| // '-fshutdown': shutdown the system immediately. |
| // Thus, starting the driver as |
| // 'parse "-fcall foo bar Yow!" -fshutdown' would |
| // first do foo->bar("Yow!") and then shut down the system. |
| |
| { |
| string obj, fun, rest; |
| |
| if (arg == "shutdown") |
| { |
| shutdown(); |
| return; |
| } |
| if (sscanf(arg, "call %s %s %s", obj, fun, rest) >= 2) |
| { |
| write(obj+"->"+fun+"(\""+rest+"\") = "); |
| write(call_other(obj, fun, rest)); |
| write("\n"); |
| return; |
| } |
| write("master: Unknown flag "+arg+"\n"); |
| } |
