method:

The method command executes a method from a device driver.  This command is primarily used for debugging device drivers and should only be used by developers.  

The syntax for the method command is:

     method devicename methodname i int1 int2 ... d dbl1 dbl2 ... s str1 str2 ...

Where:
   devicename is the name of the device
   methodname is the name of the method to be executed
   int1 int2 ... are the integer inputs for the method
   dbl1 dbl2 ... are the double inputs for the method
   str1 str2 ... are the string inputs for the method.

NOTE: improper use of this command could result in very unexpected behavior - it should only be used by developers.
