creator_file(4)          Driver Applies           creator_file(4)

NAME
     creator_file - specifies the uid to give to a newly  created
     object

SYNOPSIS
     string creator_file(string filename);

DESCRIPTION
     The creator_file() function is called in the  master  object
     each  time  a  new object is created.  The `filename' of the
     object is passed as the sole parameter, and the string  that
     creator_file()  returns  is set as the new object's uid.  If
     the AUTO_SETEUID option is enabled at  compile-time  of  the
     driver, it is also set as the new object's euid.

     One exception: if the AUTO_TRUST_BACKBONE option is  enabled
     at  compile-time  of  the driver, and creator_file() returns
     the backbone uid (as specified by get_bb_uid() in the master
     object),  the object is given the uid and euid of the object
     that loaded it.
