# destruct

### NAME

    destruct() - remove an object from the games

### SYNOPSIS

    void destruct( object ob );

### DESCRIPTION

    Completely   destroy   and  remove  object  'ob'.  After  the  call  to
    destruct(), no global variables will exist any longer, only locals, and
    arguments.   If  'ob' is this_object(), execution will continue, but it
    is best to return a value immediately.

    If no object is supplied, this efun will default to this_object().

    clone_object(3), new(3)
