32 * @class ACE_Registry_Name_Space
34 * @brief Interface to a Name Server Database which is maintained by
35 * the Win32 Registry. Allows to add, change, remove and

39 * includes bindings for all contexts. All strings are stored in
40 * wide character format. A Name Binding consists of a name
41 * (that's the key), a value string. There is no type string
42 * support in this Name Space.
