command(3)            LPC Library Functions            command(3)

NAME
     command() - execute a command as if given by the object

SYNOPSIS
     int command( string str, object ob );

DESCRIPTION
     Execute `str' for object `ob', or this_object() if  `ob'  is
     omitted.   Note that the usability of the second argument is
     determined by the local administrator and will  usually  not
     be  available,  in which case an error will result.  In case
     of failure, 0 is returned,  otherwise  a  numeric  value  is
     returned, which is the LPC "evaluation cost" of the command.
     Bigger numbers mean higher cost, but the whole scale is sub-
     jective and unreliable.
