Question

Is there a language standard (or common practice) for describing an Objective-C method with the class name included?

For example, let’s say I have the following pseudocode:

class Foo
{
  void bar(int i);
}

and I want to write some documentation for it.

If this were Java, I would refer to the method as Foo.bar(). If it were C++, I would use Foo::bar. What is the right way to do this for Objective-C?

I know that I can use -(void) bar:(int)i, but this does not include the class (or protocol) name.

Usually it’s -[Foo bar:]. There may be a plus sign instead of minus when the method is a class method.
