# process_input

### NAME

    process_input() -  provide a hook for the driver to send a copy of what the
    player is typing to the player object.

### SYNOPSIS

    string process_input( string );

### DESCRIPTION

    If process_input is present in the player object, then the MudOS driver
    parser   will   send   it  a  copy  of  each  line  the  player  types.
    Process_input makes it easy to implement features like command  history
    and  protection  against  wizcuffs.   process_input can also modify the
    player input before it is parsed.  If process_input returns a  non-zero
    string,  that  string  is used by the driver instead of what the player
    typed.
