 SYNOPSIS
-	string get_bb_uid(void)
+        string get_bb_uid(void)
 
 DESCRIPTION
-	Is called to get the ``backbone id''. Objects whose creator is
-	the backbone id are ``trusted'', and will automagically get
-	the uid and euid of the object that caused to load or clone
-	them.
+        This method is called when efun process_string() is used without a
+        current object (e.g. from notify_fail method). The current object
+        will be set to the current command giver, and will receive the euid
+        returned from this function.
 
-	The backbone id is also temporary given to objects while being
-	called via process_string().
+        If strict-euids, this function must exist and return a string.
+        Otherwise the function is optional and/or may return 0.
 
 HISTORY
-	Since 3.2.1, get_bb_uid() is needed just for process_string()
-	if no this_object() is present.
+        Since 3.2.1, get_bb_uid() is needed just for process_string()
+        if no this_object() is present.
