.\"causes next line of input to be sent to a specified function .TH input_to 3 "5 Sep 1994" MudOS "LPC Library Functions" .SH NAME input_to() - causes next line of input to be sent to a specified function .SH SYNOPSIS varargs void input_to( string | function fun, int flag, ... ); .SH DESCRIPTION Enable next line of user input to be sent to the local function `fun' as an argument. The input line will not be parsed by the driver. .PP Note that input_to is non-blocking which means that the object calling input_to does not pause waiting for input. Instead the object continues to execute any statements following the input_to. The specified function `fun' will not be called until the user input has been collected. .PP If "input_to()" is called more than once in the same execution, only the first call has any effect. .PP If optional argument `flag' is non-zero, the line given by the player will not be echoed, and is not seen if snooped (this is useful for collecting passwords). .PP The function `fun' will be called with the user input as its first argument (a string). Any additional arguments supplied to input_to will be passed on to `fun' as arguments following the user input. .SH SEE ALSO call_other(3), call_out(3), get_char(3)
