If it is part of the standard, it is in the CORBA 2.3 specification (see
c++ mapping p24 for _retn()).

If it is an omniORB extension, then it is documented in the manual, or
possibly in include/omniORB.h.

Otherwise it is probably an internal part of omniORB itself, and probably
not for use by applications.  You will need to read the source code to
understand these, but shouldn't need to unless you are
debugging/developing the ORB itself.  Stuff that is internal to omniORB is
often prefixed with _NP_, _PD_, _0RL_ or similar.
