## Interface MethodExitEvent

- All Superinterfaces:
    Event, Locatable, LocatableEvent, Mirror

      @Exported
      public interface MethodExitEvent
      extends LocatableEvent

  Notification of a method return in the target VM. This event is generated after all code in the method has executed, but the location of this event is the last executed location in the method. Method exit events are generated for both native and non-native methods. Method exit events are not generated if the method terminates with a thrown exception.

      Throws:
        `UnsupportedOperationException` - if the target virtual machine does not support this operation - see `canGetMethodReturnValues()`
