DESCRIPTION¶
This function is called to check if the object ob with the user-id uid has read permissions for the file given by path for the operation named by func. It should return 0 if permission is denied, or the normalized path if permission is granted. You can also return 1 to indicate that the path can be used unchanged.
The returned pathname must not contain ”..”, a leading / will be stripped by the interpreter. By default, the returned path must also not contain space characters; if the driver is instructed to allow them, the preprocessor __FILENAME_SPACES__ is defined.
func denotes the efun call or other operation that caused valid_read(M) to be called:
- copy_file
- ed_start (check if the file to be edited is readable)
- file_size
- get_dir
- print_file
- read_bytes
- read_file
- restore_object
- tail
For restore_object(E), the path passed is the filename as given in the efun call.
Tip
This function is called in compat mode as well. If you need to be compatible with the old 2.4.5-mudlib, redirect these calls to the valid_read(M) or valid_write(M) in the user object.
