NAME

       CMCIClientFT.invokeMethod() - Invoke a named method of an instance

SYNOPSIS

       #include <cmci.h>

       CMPIEnumeration*
       CMCIClientFT.invokeMethod(CMCIClient*cl,
                      CMPIObjectPath*op,
                      constchar*method,
                      CMPIArgs*in,
                      CMPIArgs*out,
                      CMPIStatus*rc);

DESCRIPTION

       Invoke a named method of an instance defined by the op reference.

       Arguments  are  the  client  object  pointer  cl, an ObjectPath object pointer op with the
       reference that contains namespace and classname components, method pointer to string  that
       identifies  the class method, in pointer to the input arguments, out pointer to the output
       parameters, and rc which returns the operation status (suppressed when NULL).

RETURN VALUE

       When successful  the  CMCIClientFT.invokeMethod()  function  returns  the  CMPIData  value
       returned  by  the  method invoked and sets a successful operation status code in rc.  When
       unsuccessful it returns a NULL pointer and  sets  the  operation  status  error  code  and
       corresponding error string in rc.
