LOCATE() (continued)

You may also specify qualifiers in <where> to help resolve possible ambiguities: E - Prefer exits over other types. L - Prefer unlocked exits over locked exits. P - Prefer players over other types. R - Prefer rooms over other types. T - Prefer things over other types. V - Report "Can't find..." and "Which one..." errors to <looker>. X - Select randomly if search finds multiple matches.

If nothing matches, the value #-1 is returned. If more than one thing of the preferred type matches, but nothing matches exactly, the value #-2 is returned, except if the X qualifier was specified in which case one is chosen at random. If more than one thing exactly matches, one is chosen at random. If you specify more than one type preference (E, P, R, or T), then the last one entered is the one that is obeyed. The default is for no type to be preferred.
