 Posted: Sat May 24, 2008 1:35 am Post subject: Where precisely is send_to_char defined? |
 |
|
I've been looking, and I feel rather stupid, but I'm trying to refresh myself on C, and I can't find where, for the life of me, it is defined outside of merc.h:
| Quote: | | void send_to_char args( ( const char *txt, CHAR_DATA *ch ) ); |
I see how it's parameters are set up, but I can't tell why it acts in an I/O capacity, similar to say, a printf() sort of thing. Does anyone know? I know this sounds newbie, but it looks to me like this is just a definition, with no functionality.
Thanks! |

| What you're looking at in the header file is the declaration. The actual definition is in comm.c (at least in Merc) - if you're using a Merc derivative it may have been moved, so do a grep for "void send_to_char". |

In diku, send_to_char () will reference to comm.c and comm.h
As send_to_char is defined as what is being sent, so in comm.c it actually does the sending to the defined link (i.e: current connection).
So the current connection has to be in the desc_list as active and not null, it has to have something to send, as well as the target. It may even require a color if your using ascii variants.
Once it has all of this, then it structures the buf completely, then it will do a write_to_q to the &ch->desc->output.
After that, thus your message is sent.
Technically, what its doing is a cheap, and lamer version of actc, without the extra variables. |
