reset(4)                 Driver Applies                  reset(4)

NAME
     reset - allows an object to do self-maintenance

SYNOPSIS
     void reset( void );

DESCRIPTION
     After every reset interval (whose exact length is determined
     on  a  mud by mud basis, but averages around every 2 hours),
     reset() is called in every object that currently exists.  If
     LAZY_RESETS  is  defined in options.h in the driver, reset()
     will only be called in objects when they are  touched  (near
     players), so unused objects will not be loaded from the swap
     file to reset.  The reset() call is usually used to check if
     any  treasures and/or monsters in the room have been removed
     so they can be replaced.

SEE ALSO
     set_reset(3), create(4)
