+
+Decomposing and Recomposing an Object Id
+----------------------------------------
+
+Services are provided to decompose an object Id into its subordinate
+components. The following services are used to do this:
+
+- ``rtems_object_id_get_api``
+
+- ``rtems_object_id_get_class``
+
+- ``rtems_object_id_get_node``
+
+- ``rtems_object_id_get_index``
+
+The following C language example illustrates the decomposition of an Id and
+printing the values.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    void printObjectId(rtems_id id)
+    {
+        printf(
+            "API=%d Class=%" PRIu32 " Node=%" PRIu32 " Index=%" PRIu16 "\n",
+            rtems_object_id_get_api(id),
+            rtems_object_id_get_class(id),
+            rtems_object_id_get_node(id),
+            rtems_object_id_get_index(id)
+        );
+    }
+
+This prints the components of the Ids as integers.
+
+It is also possible to construct an arbitrary Id using the ``rtems_build_id``
+service.  The following C language example illustrates how to construct the
+"next Id."
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    rtems_id nextObjectId(rtems_id id)
+    {
+        return rtems_build_id(
+                    rtems_object_id_get_api(id),
+                    rtems_object_id_get_class(id),
+                    rtems_object_id_get_node(id),
+                    rtems_object_id_get_index(id) + 1
+               );
+    }
+
+Note that this Id may not be valid in this
+system or associated with an allocated object.
+
+Printing an Object Id
+---------------------
+
+RTEMS also provides services to associate the API and Class portions of an
+Object Id with strings.  This allows the application developer to provide more
+information about an object in diagnostic messages.
+
+In the following C language example, an Id is decomposed into its constituent
+parts and "pretty-printed."
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    void prettyPrintObjectId(rtems_id id)
+    {
+        int tmpAPI;
+        uint32_t tmpClass;
+
+        tmpAPI   = rtems_object_id_get_api(id),
+        tmpClass = rtems_object_id_get_class(id),
+
+        printf(
+            "API=%s Class=%s Node=%" PRIu32 " Index=%" PRIu16 "\n",
+            rtems_object_get_api_name(tmpAPI),
+            rtems_object_get_api_class_name(tmpAPI, tmpClass),
+            rtems_object_id_get_node(id),
+            rtems_object_id_get_index(id)
+        );
+    }
