creator_file

Name

creator_file - specifies the uid to give to a newly created object

Synopsis

string creator_file(string filename);

Description

The creator_file() function is called in the master object each time a new object is created. The `filename' of the object is passed as the sole parameter, and the string that creator_file() returns is set as the new object's uid. If the AUTO_SETEUID option is enabled at compile-time of the driver, it is also set as the new object's euid.

One exception: if the AUTO_TRUST_BACKBONE option is enabled at compile-time of
the driver, and creator_file() returns the backbone uid (as specified by
get_bb_uid() in the master object), the object is given the uid and euid of
the object that loaded it.
