You are looking at a command called cede

cede {object} to {object}
change the creator and owner of an object to to something else

eg cede the dog to suinoukon

Here, the dog's owner and creator would be changed from you to suinoukon, giving him the ability to write in it, change its lock status, etc. These abilities would be taken away from you, as you would no longer be the creator and owner of the dog.

You can only cede an object that belongs to you. This means you can't steal someone's object by ceding it to yourself, so don't bother trying.

currently inopperable, will be fixed soon

Code

get $target,$rel,$second in $loc;
if $target's owner eq $actor then giveit else notyours;

##giveit:
set $target's owner = $second;
set $target's creator = $second;
set $target's pwd = $second's pwd;
say 'cede',"[$actor] ceded [$target] to [$second]";

##notyours:
say 'msg',"[$actor] could not cede [$target] to [$second] because [$target] does not belong to [$actor]";
