This sample program illustrates some simple ways to retrieve
information from the SOM Interface Repository.  Once an IR
object is retrieved the somDumpSelf method is used to cause
it to write its contents to stdout.  Consequently this program
can be used as an easy way to examine the information recorded
in the Interface Repository.

Run "wmake /f makefile.wmk" to build the irdump.exe executable. To run the
irdump program enter:

   irdump <Interface Repository Object Name>

For example:

   irdump somNew

would show you the following information about the somNew method:

   "somNew": 1 entry found

   1 OperationDef "somNew"
     id:     ::SOMClass::somNew
     mode:   NORMAL
     result: TypeCodeNew (tk_objref, "::SOMObject")

If invoked without arguments, irdump will display every object in the
Interface Repository.
