# PMGetJobNameCFString

Obtains the name of the print job.

## Declaration

```occ
OSStatus PMGetJobNameCFString (
   PMPrintSettings printSettings,
   CFStringRef *name
);
```

## Parameters

- `printSettings`: The print settings object whose job name you want to obtain.
- `name`: A pointer to your [doc://com.apple.corefoundation/documentation/CoreFoundation/CFString](corefoundation/cfstring.md) variable. On return, the variable refers to a string that contains the name of the print job. Despite what its name implies, the function `PMGetJobNameCFString` has Create/Copy semantics which means your application must release the string returned to it.

## Return Value

A result code. See [Result Codes](../core_printing.md).
