## Discussion

Discussion This only returns a value if a remote name request has been performed on the target device. If a successful remote name request has not been completed, nil is returned. To perform a remote name request, call -remoteNameRequest. If a remote name request has been successfully completed, the method -getLastNameUpdate will return the date/time of the last successful request.
