.TH lname 3 "orber 3.6.9" "Ericsson AB" "ERLANG MODULE DEFINITION"
.SH MODULE
lname \- Interface that supports the name pseudo-objects\&.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
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\&.
.LP
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\&.
.LP
The type \fINameComponent\fR used below is defined as:
.nf
-record(\&'CosNaming_NameComponent\&', {id, kind=""})\&.
.fi
.LP
\fIid\fR and \fIkind\fR are strings\&.
.LP
The record is defined in the file \fICosNaming\&.hrl\fR and it is included with:
.nf
-include_lib("orber/COSS/CosNaming/CosNaming\&.hrl")\&.
