55 * FUNCTION: acpi_ns_evaluate
57 * PARAMETERS: Info - Evaluation info block, contains:
58 * prefix_node - Prefix or Method/Object Node to execute
59 * Pathname - Name of method to execute, If NULL, the
60 * Node is the object to execute
61 * Parameters - List of parameters to pass to the method,
62 * terminated by NULL. Params itself may be
63 * NULL if no parameters are being passed.
64 * return_object - Where to put method's return value (if
65 * any). If NULL, no value is returned.
66 * parameter_type - Type of Parameter list
67 * return_object - Where to put method's return value (if
68 * any). If NULL, no value is returned.
69 * Flags - ACPI_IGNORE_RETURN_VALUE to delete return
71 * RETURN: Status
73 * DESCRIPTION: Execute a control method or return the current value of an
74 * ACPI namespace object.
