/** The CIMMethod class is used to represent CIM methods in Pegasus.

/** Class CIMMethod - This class defines the operations associated with

A CIMMethod consists of the following entities:

manipulation of the Pegasus implementation of the CIM CIMMethod. Within

<ul>

this class, methods are provides for creation, deletion, and manipulation

<li>Name of the method, a CIMName.

of method declarations.

<li>CIM type of the method return value, a CIMType.

<li>Optional qualifiers (see CIMQualifier) for the method.

A method can contain zero or more CIMQualifier objects.

<li>Optional parameters (see CIMParameter) for the method.

A CIMMethod may contain zero or more CIMParameter objects.

</ul>

In addition, a CIMMethod contains the following internal attributes:

<ul>

<li>propagated - An attribute defining whether this CIMMethod is

propagated from a superclass. Note that this is normally set as part

of completing the definition of objects (resolving) when they are

created as part of a CIM schema and is NOT automatically set when

creating a local object. It can only be logically set in context of

the schema in which the CIMMethod is defined.

<li>classOrigin - An attribute defining the class in which

this CIMMethod was originally defined. This is normally set within the

context of the schema in which the CIMMethod is defined.

This attribute is available from objects retrieved from the CIM

Server, for example, and provides information on the defintion

of this method in the class hierarchy. Together the

propagated and ClassOrigin attributes can be used to determine if

methods originated with the current object or were inherited from

higher levels in the hiearchy.

</ul>

A CIMMethod is generally defined in the context of a CIMClass.

CIMMethod uses shared representations, meaning that multiple

CIMMethod objects may refer to the same copy of data. Assignment and copy

operators create new references to the same data, not distinct copies.

A distinct copy may be created using the clone method.
