41 method associated with a given WMI device can be retrieved using the ``lswmi`` utility

83 and are forbidden from using any deprecated GUID-based WMI functions. This means that the
93 WMI drivers can call WMI device methods using wmidev_evaluate_method(), the
100 The maximum instance number can be retrieved during runtime using wmidev_instance_count().
107 WMI drivers can query WMI device data blocks using wmidev_block_query(), the
109 also allow for setting data blocks using wmidev_block_set().
111 The maximum instance number can also be retrieved using wmidev_instance_count().
139 There are many cases of firmware vendors using multiple WMI devices to control different aspects
150 then process the event further for example by using an input device.
