This interface is a part of the name library, which is used to hide the representation of names. In orbers Erlang mapping the pseodo-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_component interface supports handling of name components e.g. set and get of the struct members.
Note that the lname_component interface in orber does not contain a destroy function because the NameComponents are represented as Erlang records and therefor will be removed by the garbage collector when not in use.
The type NameComponent
used below is defined as:
-record('CosNaming_NameComponent', {id, kind=""}).
id
and kind
are strings.
The record is defined in the file CosNaming.hrl
and it
is included with:
-include_lib("orber/COSS/CosNaming/CosNaming.hrl").
