| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| Invoke a named method of an instance defined by the \fIop\fP reference. |
| .PP |
| Arguments are the client object pointer \fIcl\fP, an ObjectPath object |
| pointer \fIop\fP with the reference that contains namespace and classname |
| components, |
| \fImethod\fP pointer to string that identifies the class method, |
| \fIin\fP pointer to the input arguments, |
| \fIout\fP pointer to the output parameters, |
| and \fIrc\fP which returns the operation status (suppressed when NULL). |
| .SH "RETURN VALUE" |
| When successful the \fBCMCIClientFT.invokeMethod()\fP function returns |
| the CMPIData value returned by the method invoked and sets a successful |
| operation status code in \fIrc\fR. |
| When unsuccessful it returns a NULL pointer and sets the operation |
