NAME

        lib - A library of objects.

FUNCTIONS

OTHER FUNCTIONS

	make
	query_makeable_items

DESCRIPTION

	This object was created to make it easier to create the 'boring stuff'
	needed for a good area.

FUNCTION

NAME
        make - create an object


SYNTAX
	varargs object "/std/lib" -> make(string what, mixed arg);

DESCRIPTION
	This function returns simple standard objects, as orcs, swords,
	shovels, etc. etc. The argument is an identifier that tells make
	what to create and return.

	The optional second argument is passed to some of the object-makers
	to produce some optional features in the object.  This is only
	valid for objects produced by /std/constructors.  See
	/std/constructors/key.c for an example of a make() call with
	an optional argument.

	There are also automatic ways to use this feature in /std/room's
	add_object and the clone command. See 'man room' and 'man clone'
	respectively for more information.


EXAMPLE
	/* This returns an orc, just like those in orc valley and moves
	 * it to this object
         */
	move_object("/std/lib"->make("orc"),this_object());

	/* This returns a key, of type steel, with code example1 and
	 * moves it to this object
	 */
	move_object("/std/lib"->make("key","\btype:steel\bcode:example1"),
        	this_object());




FUNCTION

NAME
        query_makeable_items - Check what can be made.


SYNTAX
	string *"/std/lib"->query_makeable_items();

DESCRIPTION
	This function returns an array of those strings that can be
	used as identifiers to the make() function.
