pfind()
pfind()
Section titled “pfind()”pfind(<name>)
Works like pmatch(), except that a dbref finds any object, not only a player. pfind(#0) finds room #0, where pmatch(#0) finds no player. pfind(me) finds you. A dbref written with *, as in pfind(*#0), finds only a player. Unlike pmatch(), pfind() never sends you a message: a dbref without * that matches nothing returns #-1, and anything else that matches nothing returns #-1 NO MATCH.
This function comes from TinyMUX.
