SYNOPSIS void preload(string file) DESCRIPTION Load the object with the given file name (which was returned by epilog()). It is the task of the epilog()/preload() pair to ensure the validity of the given strings (e.g. filtering out comments and blank lines). For preload itself a call_other(file, "???") is sufficient, but it should be guarded by a catch() to avoid premature blockings. Also it is wise to change the master's euid from root_uid to something less privileged for the time of the preload. You can of course do anything else with the passed strings - preloading is just the traditional task. SEE ALSO epilog(M), master(M)
