# SKDocumentCreateWithURL(_:)

Creates a document URL object (of type SKDocument) from a CFURL object.

## Declaration

```swift
func SKDocumentCreateWithURL(_ inURL: CFURL!) -> Unmanaged<SKDocument>!
```

## Parameters

- `inURL`: The URL for the document URL object (of type doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/coreservices/skdocument) you are creating. The scheme of the document URL object gets set to the scheme of the URL used. Only URLs with a scheme of “file” can be used with the doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/coreservices/1444897-skindexadddocument function, but the URL scheme may be anything you like if you use the doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/coreservices/1444518-skindexadddocumentwithtext function. For more information on schemes, see link-1670302.

## Return Value

Return Value The new document URL object, or NULL if the document URL object could not be created.

## Discussion

Discussion Use SKDocumentCreateWithURL to create a unique reference to a file or to another, arbitrary URL that your application will use as a document URL object (of type SKDocument). When your application no longer needs the document URL object, dispose of it by calling CFRelease.
