SET_LINK(L) LOCAL FUNCTIONS SET_LINK(L) NAME set_link() - set a pointer to a body's connection object. SYNOPSIS void set_link (object ob) ; DESCRIPTION The set_link() lfun is defined in /std/body.c. In the TMI-2 mudlib, each user is first given a connection object which handles his name, password, and other data relevant to the user. When he logs in, he is connected to a body object, which contains data related to the character he plays. The set_link() function sets the link variable in the body, which is a pointer to the user's connection object. This pointer is needed to access the real name and email address of the person controlling a given body. The link pointer is a relatively sensitive thing, and the following security check is made; only an object with ROOT_UID, or the connection object, may alter the link vari- able.
