SYNOPSIS

void preload( string file)

DESCRIPTION

Load the object with the given file name (which was returned by epilog(M)). It is the task of the epilog(M)/preload(M) pair to ensure the validity of the given strings (e.g. filtering out comments and blank lines). For preload itself a call_other(file, "???") is sufficient, but it should be guarded by a catch(E) to avoid premature blockings. Also it is wise to change the master’s euid from root_uid to something less privileged for the time of the preload.

You can of course do anything else with the passed strings–preloading is just the traditional task.
