# CFBundleCopyInfoDictionaryForURL(_:)

Returns the information dictionary for a given URL location.

## Declaration

```swift
func CFBundleCopyInfoDictionaryForURL(_ url: CFURL!) -> CFDictionary!
```

## Parameters

- `url`: A CFURL object describing the location of a file.

## Return Value

Return Value A CFDictionary object containing url’s information dictionary. Ownership follows the The Create Rule.

## Discussion

Discussion For a directory URL, this is equivalent to CFBundleCopyInfoDictionaryInDirectory(_:). For a plain file URL representing an unbundled application, this function will attempt to read an information dictionary either from the (__TEXT, __info_plist) section of the file (for a Mach-O file) or from a plst resource.
