DOMAIN(1) DOMAIN(1)
NAME
domain() - returns the domain to which an object belongs
SYNOPSIS
string domain(object|string val)
DESCRIPTION
Given an object as an argument, domain() will return the
domain to which the object belongs based on its file name.
If a string is passed, the string is assumed to be the
file name of an object and the function will return the
domain associated with that file name.
Domains are determined based on the following criteria:
o the return from query_domain() in the object if that
value is a valid domain and the first argument is an
object or a loadable file
o the domain from which the object comes if its file name
is from the mudlib domains directory
o if the object is from a creator home directory, it
checks the sub-directory of that home directory from
which it came and returns it if it is a valid domain
=back
EXAMPLES
o domain(ob) will return "NorthForest" if the file name
is "/domains/NorthForest/sword" and ob->query_domain()
returns 0
o domain("/realms/descartes/Orlith/entrance") returns
"Orlith"
