Obtain list of class methods for an arbitrary class

Question

How can I get the list of class methods for a particular Class? I've tried using the class_copyMethodList function declared in <objc/runtime.h>, but that's only giving me instance methods. I've also found a function that gives me a Method for a class method, but only if I have the selector to the method first (class_getClassMethod).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dave

Use the metaclass.

#import <objc/runtime.h>

int unsigned numMethods;
Method *methods = class_copyMethodList(objc_getMetaClass("NSArray"), &numMethods);
for (int i = 0; i < numMethods; i++) {
    NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromSelector(method_getName(methods[i])));
}
free(methods);
