SYNOPSIS
mapping mkmapping(mixed *arr1, mixed *arr2,...)
mapping mkmapping(struct st)
DESCRIPTION
The first form returns a mapping with indices from 'arr1' and
values from 'arr2'... . arr1[0] will index arr2...[0], arr1[1]
will index arr2...[1], etc. If the arrays are of unequal size,
the mapping will only contain as much elements as are in the
smallest array.
The second form converts the given struct <st> into a mapping
using the struct member names as index values.
EXAMPLES
mkmapping( ({ 1, 2 }), ({ 10, 11 }), ({ 20, 21, 22}))
returns ([ 1:10;20, 2:11;21 ])
struct s { int a; int *b; int c; };
mkmapping( (<s> a: 1, b: ({ 2, 3 }), c: 3 )
returns ([ "a":1, "b":({2,3}), "c":3 ])
HISTORY
LDMud 3.3.433 added the conversion from structs.
