/iid

midl /iid filename

filename

Specifies an interface identifier filename that overrides the default interface identifier filename for an OLE 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 an OLE 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.
