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