macOS When will prepareWithInvocationTarget: not be self?

[grimreaper1377]

Hi,

I'm going through the NSUndoManager tutorial on cocoadev and it says that the first thing you always need to do is called

prepareWithInvocationTarget:self

Just a quick question: why is the argument always self? When would it be something else?

Thanks

I know nothing about this, so i didn't reply originally (also, don't bump threads... i feel guilty for responding after a bump)... but all i can really come up with is the documentation for this method:
