# SKIndexCopyTermStringForTermID(_:_:)

Obtains a term, specified by ID, from an index.

## Declaration

```swift
func SKIndexCopyTermStringForTermID(_ inIndex: SKIndex!, _ inTermID: CFIndex) -> Unmanaged<CFString>!
```

## Parameters

- `inIndex`: The index whose terms you are searching.
- `inTermID`: The ID of the term whose string you want.

## Return Value

Return Value A CFString containing the term specified by inTermID.

## Discussion

Discussion When your application has the ID of a term, perhaps as a result of calling SKIndexCopyTermIDArrayForDocumentID(_:_:), use this function to derive the term’s text string. To perform the inverse operation of deriving a term ID from a term string in a given index, use SKIndexGetTermIDForTermString(_:_:).
