create(4)                Driver Applies                 create(4)

NAME
     create - object initialization

SYNOPSIS
     void create( void );

DESCRIPTION
     Every object should have a create  function  defined  within
     it.  Within that function, all initial object initialization
     should be  done.   create()  is  called  on  *all*  objects.
     *NOTE*  -  This  behavior  is different than the stock 3.1.2
     LPmud driver.  In 3.1.2, if an object is  created  first  by
     being  inherited,  then  create()  wasn't  called on it.  In
     MudOS, this behavior has changed  so  that  it  is  *always*
     called  when an object is created.  As a result, you may see
     some odd behavior if you have a create in  a  parent  object
     that  does  a write, you will see two writes, as if create()
     had been called twice  on  the  same  object.   In  reality,
     create  *is*  being  called  twice,  but  on two *different*
     objects:  the  parent,  and  the  child  that   is   calling
     parent::create() manually.
