<title>Interface Repository(IFR)</title>
35
<p>The IFR is an interface repository built on the Mnesia
36
application. Orber uses the IFR for some type-checking
37
when coding/decoding IIOP. The IFR is capable of storing all
38
interfaces and declarations of OMG IDL.
40
<p>The interface repository is mainly used for dynamical
41
interfaces, and as none are currently supported this function
42
is only really used for retrieving information about interfaces.</p>
43
<p>Functions relating to the manipulation of the IFR including,
44
initialization of the IFR, as well as, locating, creating and
45
destroying initial references are detailed further in the Manual
