In your case, 'reset' is a name of a class and also a name of a method. To call 
that method, you have to create an instance of that class and send it the 
message 'reset'.

main()
{
   ...
   reset myObject = [[reset alloc] init]; /* create an instance */

   [myObject reset]; /* send a message */
   ....
}

BTW. The naming convenience is that class names start with capital letter, so 
it should be named Reset. But it is just a cosmetic thing.
