SYNOPSIS

void write(mixed msg)

DESCRIPTION

Write out something to the current user. What exactly will be printed in the end depends of the type of msg.

If it is a string or a number then just prints it out.

If it is an object then the object will be printed in the form: "OBJ("+file_name((object)mix)+")"

If it is an array just "<ARRAY>" will be printed.

If the write() function is invoked by a command of an living but not interactive object and the given argument is a string then the lfun catch_tell() of the living will be invoked with the message as argument.

EXAMPLE

	write("Hello world!\n");

Just print out a string.

	write(this_player());

This will print out something like "OBJ(std/player#1234)".

	write( ({ "blub" }) );

Will print out "<ARRAY>".
