|
paul@205 | 4 | The idl4re project is an attempt to support an interface description language
|
paul@205 | 5 | for components operating in the L4 Runtime Environment, providing a tool - idl
|
paul@205 | 6 | - that takes interface descriptions and generates code to be incorporated into
|
paul@205 | 7 | components, permitting those components to interact with each other without
|
paul@205 | 8 | being concerned with the communications mechanisms involved.
