I have some callback code that requires the user to pass in a selector. I'd like to validate that the selector is of the correct form - it must take exactly one argument.

I've searched through the doco and have not been able to find a function that will tell me how many args an object of type SEL requires. Does something like this exist?

You could look through the selector as a string and count the number of ":" (technically, this works based entirely on the syntax of Objective-C - nothing in the runtime enforces this - a selector is basically just string).

You can also have a look to Objective-C introspection API :
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ ObjCRuntimeRef/index.html


Look at the function : Method class_getInstanceMethod(Class aClass, SEL aSelector)
Given a Class object and a selector, it returns a method descriptor which contains the exact method signature : number of parameters, parameter types and return type (with method_getArgumentInfo() and method_getNumberOfArguments()).
