Caveats

The  examine  command is capable of examining the vital object data and properties of objects. A player may only get details on objects they own or control. Wizards may obtain this information for any object which exists in the SpinDizzy MUCK System.

Calling  examine  by itself defaults to using the player's current location of the object. This is the same as calling  examine here  manually to view the vital object data.

If the optional  <pattern>  parameter is supplied, object properties are displayed according to the specified parameters. The filter may include specific strings, the wildcard indicator *, and/or the greedy wildcard indicator **, as in the examples above.
