Remarks

This method returns the method descriptor for a specified method of a class. (A method descriptor is a somId that represents the identifier of an attribute definition or a method definition in the SOM Interface Repository. It contains information about the method's return type and the types of its arguments.) If the class object does not support the indicated method, NULL is returned.

myMethodDescriptor = _somGetMethodDescriptor(_Animal,
                                somIdFromString("setSound"));
