# knowsPageRange(_:)

Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the view handles page boundaries.

## Declaration

```swift
func knowsPageRange(_ range: NSRangePointer) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `range`: On return, holds the page range if doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true is returned directly. Page numbers are one-based—that is pages run from one to N.

## Return Value

Return Value true if the view handles page boundaries; otherwise, false.

## Discussion

Discussion Returns false if the view uses the default auto-pagination mechanism. The default implementation returns false. Override this method if your class handles page boundaries.
