       -c      Generate client side code.

       -k      Keep temporary files.

       -p      Produce source on standard output.

       -q      Be quiet (default).

       -v      Be verbose.

       -ir     Generate code for interface repository.

<p><code>idlac</code> creates several files :
</p>

<ul>
<li> <code>myinterface.ads</code>, <code>myinterface.adb</code> : these files contain
  the mapping for user defined types (client and server side).

</li><li> <code>myinterface-impl.ads</code>, <code>myinterface-impl.adb</code> :
  these files are to be filled in by the user. They contain the
  implementation of the server. They are generated only if the -i flag
  is specified.

</li><li> <code>myinterface.ads</code>, <code>myinterface.adb</code> : these files
  contain the client stubs for the interface.

</li><li> <code>myinterface-skel.ads</code>, <code>myinterface-skel.adb</code> : these files
  contain the server-side skeletons for the interface.

</li><li> <code>myinterface-helper.ads</code>, <code>myinterface-helper.adb</code> : these
  files contain subprograms to marshal data into CORBA Any containers.

</li><li> <code>myinterface-ir_info.ads</code>, <code>myinterface-ir_info.adb</code> : these
  files contain code for registering IDL definitions in the CORBA Interface
  Repository. They are generated only if the <code>'-ir'</code> flag is specified.


</li></ul>
