Syntax: scan (<mob name, player name, or direction name>)
scan east, scan fido, scan lucius
mscan (<mob name>)
pscan (<player name>)
oscan (<object name or direction name>)
The scan commands allow you to see mobiles, players, and objects in rooms
around you. By default, you can scan up to one room away from you, but the
radius maybe increased with various skills and spells (see related
helpfiles).
Oscan displays objects, while scan displays monsters and players, pscan
displays only players, and mscan is for mobs (not pets). Oscan will display
a (hidden item!) flag next to items which have the unseen object flag, if
they are in an area whose upper level is 15 or below.
The scan command will reveal closed doors but not hidden exits.
