Containers are objects that allow you to store other objects inside them. The following help topics cover verbs that can be used with containers:

put -- putting an object into a container
remove -- taking an object out of a container

Containers may be open or closed, using the verbs 'open container' and 'close container'. Containers have a separate lock to determine if a player may open them. See the following help topics:

@lock_for_open -- setting the lock for opening a container
@unlock_for_open -- clearing the lock

You can make a container by creating a child of the standard container, $container (see "help @create").

Containers have a large number of messages which get printed when players act upon them. See 'help container-messages' for more information.

Containers have opacity. See 'help @opacity' for more information.
