NAME #include #include mixed *variable_list (object ob, int flags = RETURN_FUNCTION_NAME) DESCRIPTION Return an array with information about s variables. For every variable, 1 to 3 values (depending on ) are stored in the result array conveying in this order: - the name of the variable - the variable flags (see below) - the return type (listed in mudlib/sys/lpctypes.h) - the value of the variable may be given as true object or as a filename. In the latter case, the efun does not try to load the object before proceeding. If is not the current object and the value of the variable is requested, a privilege_violation ("variable_list", ) occurs. determines both which information is returned for every variable, and which variables should be considered at all. Its value is created by bin-or'ing together following flags from mudlib/sys/functionlist.h: Control of returned information: RETURN_FUNCTION_NAME include the variable name RETURN_FUNCTION_FLAGS include the variable flags RETURN_FUNCTION_TYPE include the return type RETURN_VARIABLE_VALUE include the variable value Control of listed variables: NAME_INHERITED don't list if defined by inheritance TYPE_MOD_STATIC == TYPE_MOD_NOSAVE don't list if nosave ('static') variable TYPE_MOD_PRIVATE don't list if private TYPE_MOD_PROTECTED don't list if protected NAME_HIDDEN don't list if not visible through inheritance The 'flags' information consists of the bin-or of the list control flags given above, plus the following: TYPE_MOD_VIRTUAL variable is inherited virtually TYPE_MOD_NO_MASK variable is nomask TYPE_MOD_PUBLIC variable is public All these flags are defined in mudlib/sys/functionlist.h, which should be copied into an accessible place in the mudlib. The return types are defined in mudlib/sys/lpctypes.h which also should be copied into the mudlib. HISTORY Introduced in LDMud 3.2.10. SEE ALSO inherit_list(E), functionlist(E), variable_exists(E)
