Do you mean "what's the purpose of ORBit2" ?
Well, ORBit2 is an implementation of CORBA 2.4. And if you
looking
for CORBA implementation ... you will find that most of them
are
either C++ or Java. ORBit2 is the only C implementation I
can find
so far (and it probably is the fastest implementation ...).
Yes, it's an IPC ... and if you want to explain CORBA by one
statement,
you can say "CORBA is an OO RPC".
Is DBus better than CORBA ? That depends. CORBA is a good
spec
for distributed programming. But CORBA is also a very large
spec ...
a good implementation with great performance is not easy.
I'm not sure, but I believe the reason DBus was introduced
is try
to overcome the performance issue ... for Desktop
applications.
Because some of the CORBA requirement is not very useful
for Desktop applications.
So, I will say (although not 100% correct), Dbus is kind of
the optimized
CORBA for Desktop applications.
