/iid

midl /iid filename

filename

Specifies an interface identifier filename that overrides the default interface identifier filename for a COM interface. Filenames can be explicitly quoted using double quotes (") to prevent the shell from interpreting the special characters.

Example

midl /iid "foo_iid.c" filename.idl 
 

Remarks

The /iid switch specifies the name of the interface identifier file for a COM interface, overriding the default name obtained by adding _I.C to the IDL filename. The /iid switch does not affect RPC interfaces.

If filename does not include an explicit path, the file is written to the current directory or to the directory specified by the /out switch. An explicit path in filename overrides the /out switch specification.
