1 NAME
2 call_other - call a function in an object
3
4 SYNOPSIS
5 mixed call_other(mixed obj, string function, mixed args...)

8 DESCRIPTION
9 Call a function in an object. The first argument must be either an
10 object or a string. If it is a string, call_object() will be called
11 in the driver object to get the corresponding object.
12 Only non-private functions can be called with call_other(). If the
13 function is static, the object in which the function is called must
14 be the same as the object from which the function is called, or the
15 call will fail.
16 Any additional arguments to call_other() will be passed on to the
17 called function.
18 In LPC, obj->func(arg1, arg2, argn) can be used as a shorthand for
19 call_other(obj, "func", arg1, arg2, argn).

21 ERRORS
22 An error will result if the first argument is not an object and not a
23 string, or if the first argument is a string, but the specified object
24 is uncompiled.
25 Calling a function that does not exist, or a function that cannot be
26 called with call_other() because it is private or static, does not
27 result in an error but returns the value nil.
