lname_component(3erl)					     Erlang Module Definition					     lname_component(3erl)

NAME
       lname_component - Interface that supports the name pseudo-objects.

DESCRIPTION
       This interface is a part of the name 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_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").
