16.7.5 Performing Multiple Operations on a Single Handle
Multiple operations can be performed using one encoding handle before the handle is
released. In this case, all the encoded data is part of the same buffer system.
A single decoding handle is used to obtain the contents of the encoded data. Decoding
operations must be called in the same order the encoding operations were called to
create the encoded data.
The definition of the user client memory management functions, and any memory
allocated by IDL encoding services using the client memory allocator, must not be
modified between operations for which the same encoding handle is used.
16.7.6 Determining the Identity of an Encoding
Applications can use the idl_es_inq_encoding_id( ) routine to determine the identity of
an encoding operation, for example, before calling their decoding operations.
