IDB: Interface Description Block

Interface Description Block (IDB) is a sub-block area of memory that is private to an application. This area stores private information and states variables that an application wants to associate with an IDB or an interface. The application uses the IDB to register a pointer to its sub-block, not to the contents of the sub-block itself.
