Appendix B: Library Verb Functions

Below is a list of all the functions that are associated with grammar statements in verbs.library. It is not, however, a complete list of all the possible command constructs the player can use. Although each function is only listed here once, in most cases there are many grammar statements mapping to that function. For example, consider the function +cut:

grammar cut *present  >cut
grammar chop *present >cut
grammar stab *present >cut

As you can see, the function cut has three grammar statements that map to it. The list below, however, will only show the first grammar statement that maps to the function. To see all the commands that will cause any one of the below functions to be called, search for the function name in the verbs.library file.
