# CGPDFArrayGetName(_:_:_:)

Returns whether an object at a given index in a PDF array is a PDF name reference (represented as a constant C string) and, if so, retrieves that name.

## Declaration

```swift
func CGPDFArrayGetName(_ array: CGPDFArrayRef, _ index: Int, _ value: UnsafeMutablePointer<UnsafePointer<CChar>?>?) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `array`: A PDF array. If this parameter is not a valid PDF array, the behavior is undefined.
- `index`: The index of the value to retrieve. If the index is outside the index space of the array (0 to N-1, where N is the count of the array), the behavior is undefined.
- `value`: An uninitialized pointer to a constant C string. If the value at the specified index is a reference to a PDF name (represented by a constant C string) then upon return, contains that value; otherwise the value is undefined.

## Return Value

Return Value Returns true if there is an array of characters at the specified index, otherwise false.
