This manual describes omniidl, the omniORB IDL compiler. It is intended for developers
who wish to write their own IDL compiler back-ends, or to modify existing
ones. It also documents the design of the compiler front-end for those poor souls
who have to track the IDL specification.
The OMNI Naming Service (omniNames) is an omniORB implementation of the
OMG’s COS Naming Service Specification. It offers a way for a client to turn
a human-readable name into an object reference, on which the client can subsequently
invoke operations in the normal way. See the OMG specification for full
details of the functionality provided by the Naming Service.
