CFAttributedStringGetAttribute(_:_:_:_:)

Declaration

func CFAttributedStringGetAttribute(_ aStr: CFAttributedString!, _ loc: CFIndex, _ attrName: CFString!, _ effectiveRange: UnsafeMutablePointer<CFRange>!) -> CFTypeRef!

Parameters

• aStr:

  The attributed string to examine.

• loc:

  The location in str at which to determine the attributes. loc must not exceed the bounds of str.

• attrName:

  The name of the attribute whose value you want to determine.

• effectiveRange:

  If not NULL, upon return contains a range including loc over which exactly the same set of attributes apply as at loc.

Return Value

The value of the specified attribute at the specified location in str. Ownership follows the The Get Rule.

Discussion

For performance reasons, a range returned in effectiveRange is not necessarily the maximal range. If you need the maximum range, you should use CFAttributedStringGetAttributeAndLongestEffectiveRange(_:_:_:_:_:).
