NOTES:

This directive can be used to set the name of objects which do not have a naming scheme per their API.

If the object specified by id is of a class that has a string name, this directive will free the existing name to the RTEMS Workspace and allocate enough memory from the RTEMS Workspace to make a copy of the string located at name.

If the object specified by id is of a class that has a 32-bit integer style name, then the first four characters in name will be used to construct the name.
