FUNCTIONS

QUERY FUNCTIONS

	query_races
	query_standard_races
	query_bad_races
	is_standard_race
	is_bad_race
	query_all_standard_races

DESCRIPTION

	This daemon keeps track of race information for monsters. Whenever
	set_race() in the basic monster object is called, the daemon is
	called with the same data. The daemon maintains three lists of data:

	+ standard races,
	+ bad races, and
	+ other races.

	The first is a list with reasonable races compiled from the MUD.
	Here you will find races like 'pig', 'human' and 'dragon', as well
	as 'none', which marks the monster as not having a consistent race
	at all.

	The second list contains known bad races, such as '---', 'thing'
	and 'vampire'.
	
	The third list contains races that have not been processed into the
	other two; this processing is done manually from time to time by
	some admin, usually right before rebooting the game.
