COVER, DIM, UNCOVER

Cover is a command used to temporarily block the light from a light source from escaping. This is extremely useful for thieves who wish to quickly cover a light or uncover it again to hide in a different spot.

cover doesn't act as a toggle: to uncover a lantern after it has been covered, you have to uncover it. dim is a synonym for cover.

At the moment, both cover and uncover require an argument - the name of the light source you want to cover or uncover.

Example:

  > cover ruby
  > uncover ruby
