"get" prefixes in Cocoa

Hi. Cocoa idioms dictate setFoo: and foo: for setters and getters.
Occasionally, the prefix "get" appears in a Cocoa method, like this
one:


- (void)getObjects:(id *)objects andKeys:(id *)keys


When a method is prefixed with get in Cocoa, what is being expressed?


Thanks,
