NAME
	about-efun+lfun-docs

AUTHOR
	These man pages were collected from the original 2.4.5 docs,
	from the installed docs of NightFall, TubMud and MorgenGrauen.

	They were collected corrected and completed Pepel@NightFall,
	with assistance and support by the LPC wizards of NightFall,
	TubMud and MorgenGrauen, namely Hyp, Macbeth and Mateese. Also
	to mention are Bumblebee, Boing, Deepthought, Demos, Hate and
	Jof.

DESCRIPTION
	The man pages generally adhere to the following format, which
	was inspired by the Unix man pages.

	<manpage> ::= <section>+

	There are one or more sections in a man page.

	<section> ::= <section-name><newline><section-text><newline>

	The section names are always at the beginning of a line, and
	in all capital letters (debatable uglyness).

	<section-name> ::=   'NAME' | 'CONCEPT' | 'SYNOPSIS'
			   | 'LAST UPDATED'
			   | 'DESCRIPTION' | 'AUTHOR' | 'BUGS'
			   | 'CAVEATS' | 'WARNING' | 'NOTE' | 'NOTES'
			   | 'EXAMPLE' | 'EXAMPLES'
			   | 'SEE ALSO'

	If a NAME section occurs, it should give the name of the man
	page.
	If a SYNOPSIS section occurs, the name of the man page canb be
	derived from the function name, that appears in the line after
	SYNOPSIS, which looks as follows:

	<returntype><space>['*']<function-name>'('<parameter-prototypes>

	SEE ALSO is followed by one or more lines that contain
	crossreferences of the form

	<crossreferences> ::=
		<crossref>[','<white-space><crossref>]*<white-space><EOF>
	<crossref> ::= <man-page-name>'('<chapter-abbrev>')'

	The names of the referenced man pages are followed in brackets
	by an abbreveiation for the chaper (i.e. directory) the man
	page is in. The abbrevs are
	E for efun/	the ``system calls'' of LPC
	L for lfun/	member functions that the driver applies to objects
	C for concepts/	general concepts of LPMUD and LPC
	LPC for LPC/	about parts of the LPC language
	M for master/	lfuns that are applied to the master object only
	D for driver/	some info about internal operation of the driver

	If you want to process these man pages by some converter
	program, you can use these to map the chapter names to file
	names or whatever.

BUGS
	There are no man pages supported by Amylaar himself.
	I hope one day I can convince him to at least put these docs
	into the driver distribution.

	Meanwhile, please report any corrections / suggestions /
	completions to <pepel@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de>
