Try: help?> methodswith search: methodswith
methodswith(typ[, module or function][, showparents]) Return an array of methods with an argument of type typ. The optional second argument restricts the search to a particular module or function (the default is all modules, starting from Main). If optional showparents is true, also return arguments with a parent type of typ, excluding type Any.
