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").
