clonep(3)

NAME
clonep() - determine whether or not a given variable points to a cloned object

SYNOPSIS
int clonep(mixed arg);

DESCRIPTION
Returns true (1) iff the argument is objectp() and the O_CLONE flag is set. The driver sets the O_CLONE flag for those objects created via new(3) (clone_object(3)). The clonep() efun will not return true when called on objects that are the master copy (those that are loaded via call_other(3)). Note that if clonep() returns true, then file_name() will return a string containing a '#'.
