Abstract
A method and system for querying and executing commands of an application program are provided. A caller application program may dispatch a request for status information to a callee application program for one or more commands. That is, the caller application program can determine which commands a callee application program provides and determine the status of each of those commands. In particular, the caller application program may request a bit representation of the status of a command, may request a textual representation of a status of the command, or may request a textual representation of the name of a command. In addition, the caller application program may dispatch a request to execute a command to the callee application program. Moreover, the caller application program may specify whether the callee application program should request user input before executing the command. Furthermore, the caller application program may request that the callee application program provide help information for the command rather than execute the command. Additionally, predefined commands are provided and application defined commands can be defined.
