Member Function Documentation

- (void) taskComplete

A hook you should override to do something when this task is complete.

This method is still executing as part of the operation but after this method finishes the thread will exit.

- (void) updateArguments

A helper to update the arguments.

All this does is set args on the task.

 [task setArguments:args];
