| 2 | void flag(string arg) |
| 3 | |
| 4 | DESCRIPTION |
| 5 | Evaluate an argument given as option '-f' to the driver. |
| 6 | If several '-f' options are given, this function will be |
| 7 | called sequentially with all given arguments. |
| 8 | This function can be used to pass the master commands via |
| 9 | arguments to the driver. This is useful when building a new |
| 10 | mudlib from scratch. It is called only when the system is |
| 11 | started. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | EXAMPLE |
| 14 | // The code given implements these commands: |
| 15 | // '-fcall <ob> <fun> <arg>': call function <fun> in object <ob> with |
| 16 | // argument <arg>. |
| 17 | // '-fshutdown': shutdown the system immediately. |
| 18 | // Thus, starting the driver as |
| 19 | // 'parse "-fcall foo bar Yow!" -fshutdown' would |
| 20 | // first do foo->bar("Yow!") and then shut down the system. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | { |
| 23 | string obj, fun, rest; |
| 24 | |
| 25 | if (arg == "shutdown") |
| 26 | { |
| 27 | shutdown(); |
| 28 | return; |
| 29 | } |
| 30 | if (sscanf(arg, "call %s %s %s", obj, fun, rest) >= 2) |
| 31 | { |
| 32 | write(obj+"->"+fun+"(\""+rest+"\") = "); |
| 33 | write(call_other(obj, fun, rest)); |
| 34 | write("\n"); |
| 35 | return; |
| 36 | } |
| 37 | write("master: Unknown flag "+arg+"\n"); |
| 38 | } |
