Invoking Babel to generate C bindings
</H1>
To create C stubs (i.e. code to support C clients to a set of SIDL
classes or interfaces), you should invoke Babel as follows <A NAME="tex2html33"
HREF="footnode.html#foot5796"><SUP><SPAN CLASS="arabic">7</SPAN>.<SPAN CLASS="arabic">1</SPAN></SUP></A>:
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<TT> <TT>%</TT> <TT><B>babel -client=C file.sidl</B></TT>
<BR>
</TT></BLOCKQUOTE>or more cryptically
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<TT> <TT>%</TT> <TT><B>babel -cC file.sidl</B></TT>
<BR>
</TT></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
This will create more files than you can shake a stick at. The files
ending in <TT>_IOR.h</TT> and <TT>_IOR.c</TT> are the Intermediate Object
Representation. The files ending with <TT>_Stub.c</TT> are the C stubs
-- the interface between a C client and the IOR. The remaining header
files have external C API that C clients may use.
<P>
To use the C stubs, you must compile the stub files whose file names
end with <TT>_Stub.c</TT> and link them against the SIDL runtime
library and a backend implementation.
