What is a CMS instance number?

In CMS an object is identified by a four part name objectname~version:type:instance. This prevents objects of the same name and version in different directories from colliding. For example: dir1 |_ foo.c~1:csrc:1 dir2 |_ foo.c~1:csrc:2 So even though the two foo.c src files are both version 1 and are named exactly the same, they are unique objects in the Synergy database and can distinguished by their instance numbers.
