driver-overrides

FluffOS efun overrides intercept default efuns like exec and shutdown to enforce security, usability, and consistency constraints before execution. They modify standard behavior by applying privileged checks and semantic rules within the driver layer.

The this_body and this_caller wrappers provide semantic alternatives to common efuns by clarifying object context. They help developers avoid ambiguity and runtime pitfalls when tracking the active player body or calling object interactions.

The exec efun override applies security constraints to prevent unauthorized body swapping or privilege escalation. By intercepting the default exec call, the driver layer ensures only privileged contexts execute sensitive connection transfers safely.

Documenting driver overrides requires specifying the YAML name and description in frontmatter for discovery, then detailing the intent, constraints, and real-world impact of each modified efun to ensure developers understand safety considerations.

You should adjust query_num or ctime overrides when runtime semantics require consistency changes across small to large mudlib projects. Changing these overrides impacts numerical and time formatting behavior throughout the driver environment.

Changing set_privs and shutdown overrides requires reading their documentation first to understand safety constraints. These overrides directly manage privilege assignment and system termination, so adjusting them risks breaking driver security boundaries.
