FUNCTION

NAME
        query_real_name - Return the real name of a player.


LOCATION
	/obj/player.c

SYNTAX
	string query_real_name();

DESCRIPTION
	The query_name() function returns the capitalized name when called
	in a player, or "Someone" when he or she is invisible.  Thus it is
	not sufficient when you want to know absolutely who someone is.
	Hence the query_real_name() function.

	Among standard mudlib files, only player.c contains this function.
	It is not needed elsewhere.


RETURN VALUES
	Always returns the actual, lower-case name of a player.


EXAMPLE
	In your workroom's init():
	void init() {
	   if( (string) this_player()->query_real_name() != "earendil" ) {
	      // Code here dealing with Earendil.
	   }
	   ::init();
	} // init
