# CLBeaconIdentityCondition

A condition that describes the identity characteristics of a beacon.

## Declaration

```occ
@interface CLBeaconIdentityCondition : CLCondition
```

## Overview

Overview Core Location defines a beacon identity by UUID, and major and minor values. You need to specify the UUID. If you only specify a UUID, the framework treats the major and minor values as wildcards and any beacons with the same UUID satisfy the condition. Similarly, if you specify only a UUID and a major value, the framework treats the minor value as a wildcard and any beacons with the same UUID and major value satisfy the condition.

## Topics

### Creating beacon identity conditions

- [initWithUUID:](corelocation/clbeaconidentitycondition/initwithuuid:.md)
- [initWithUUID:major:](corelocation/clbeaconidentitycondition/initwithuuid:major:.md)
- [initWithUUID:major:minor:](corelocation/clbeaconidentitycondition/initwithuuid:major:minor:.md)

### Accessing the beacon’s properties

- [UUID](corelocation/clbeaconidentitycondition/uuid.md)
- [major](corelocation/clbeaconidentitycondition/major.md)
- [minor](corelocation/clbeaconidentitycondition/minor.md)
