Read an IOR (stringified CORBA reference) from a file or treat the argument as an IOR.

Description

IOR generator function. If the argument starts with the string ``IOR:'', the object is considered an IOR and returned. Alternatively, we attempt to read a single IOR from the contents of the specified file.

Usage

ior(fileName)

Arguments

Details

This is a simple use of scan. To read more than one IOR from a file, one can use this approach.
