SYNOPSIS

int query_mud_port(void)

int query_mud_port(object user)
int query_mud_port(int num)

DESCRIPTION

Returns the port number the parser uses for user connections.

If no argument is given, the port for this_player() is returned. If this_player() is not existing or not interactive, the first port number open for connections is returned.

HISTORY

The second and third form of invocation are available only with Deepthought's multi-port driver patch that is used in Nightfall (and maybe a few other installations).

DESCRIPTION

If an user object is given, the port used for its connection is returned.

If a positive number is given, the <num>th port number the parser uses for connections is returned (given that there are that many ports).

If -1 is given, the number of ports open for connections is returned.
