4.2.1 ORB Identity


   4.2.1.1 id

   ORBid id();

   The id operation returns the identity of the ORB. The returned ORBid is the string that was passed to ORB_init (see Section 4.5.1, “ORB Initialization? on page 4-25) as the orb_identifier parameter when the ORB was created. If that was the empty string, the returned string is the value associated with the -ORBid tag in the arg_list parameter. Calling id on the default ORB returns the empty string.
