# CFURLCopyLastPathComponent(_:)

Returns the last path component of a given URL.

## Declaration

```swift
func CFURLCopyLastPathComponent(_ url: CFURL!) -> CFString!
```

## Parameters

- `url`: The CFURL object to examine.

## Return Value

Return Value The last path component of url. Ownership follows the create rule. See The Create Rule.

## Discussion

Discussion Note that if there is no last path component, this function returns an empty string. In the code sample shown, lastPathComponent is an empty string. CFStringRef urlString = CFSTR("http://www.apple.com"); CFURLRef url = CFURLCreateWithString(NULL, urlString, NULL); CFStringRef lastPathComponent = CFURLCopyLastPathComponent (url); If urlString were created with CFSTR("http://www.apple.com/"), then lastPathComponent would be a CFString object containing the character “/”. See also CFURLCopyPathExtension(_:).
