- <modulesummary>Interface that supports the name pseudo-objects.</modulesummary>
- <description>
- <p>This interface is a part of the names library which is used to hide the
- representation of names. In Orbers Erlang mapping the pseudo-object names
- and the real IDL names have the same representation but it is desirable that
- the clients uses the names library so they will not be dependent of the representation.
- The lname interface supports handling of names e.g. adding and removing name
- components.</p>
- <p>Note that the lname interface in orber does not contain a destroy function because
- the Names are represented as standard Erlang lists and therefor will be removed
- by the garbage collector when not in use.</p>
- <p>The type <c>NameComponent</c> used below is defined as:</p>
- <code type="erl">
--record('CosNaming_NameComponent', {id, kind=""}).
- </code>
- <p><c>id</c> and <c>kind</c> are strings. </p>
- <p>The record is defined in the file <c>CosNaming.hrl</c> and it
- is included with:</p>
- <code type="erl">
--include_lib("orber/COSS/CosNaming/CosNaming.hrl").
