def-remote-method

Arguments: name [mod] lambda-list &key port result mode destination close final

This macro is like def-remote-function but defines a method instead. The lambda list may be a method lambda list with specializers. In addition, a keyword in the lambda list is treated like a :type keyword to rref. A list always denotes a specialized argument, but any items beyond the second element are treated as keyword arguments to rref. The keyword arguments are the same as those for def-remote-function.

(def-remote-method 
    bar :before ((x local-class) (y t :ref-only) :copy-only))

This call defines a :before method with three arguments. The first is specialized on local-class and is passed by default rules. The second argument is unspecialized and is passed by reference only. The third argument is unspecialized and is passed only by value.
