init

NAME

init  -  function  in  an  object called by move_object() to initialize
verb/actions

SYNOPSIS

void init( void );

DESCRIPTION

When the mudlib moves an object "A"  inside  another  object  "B",  the
driver (the move_object() efunction) does the following:

1.  if "A" is living, causes "A" to call the init() in "B"

2.  causes each living object in the inventory of "B" to call init() in
    "A".  regardless of whether "A" is living or not.

3.  if "A" is living, causes "A" to call the init() in each  object  in
    the inventory of "B".

Note:  an  object  is considered to be living if enable_commands(3) has
been called by that object.

Typically,  the  init(4)  function  in  an  object  is  used  to   call
add_action(3) for each command that the object offers.
