present()(3)

NAME
present() - find an object by id

SYNOPSIS
object present(mixed str, object ob)

DESCRIPTION
If an object that identifies to the name `str' is present, then return it.

`str' can also be an object, in which case the test is much faster and easier.

If `ob' is given, then the search is done in the inventory of `ob', otherwise the object is searched for in the inventory of the current object, and in the inventory of the environment of the current object.
