# LSCopyItemAttributes(_:_:_:_:)

Obtains multiple item attribute values as a dictionary.

## Declaration

```swift
func LSCopyItemAttributes(_ inItem: UnsafePointer<FSRef>!, _ inRoles: LSRolesMask, _ inAttributeNames: CFArray!, _ outValues: UnsafeMutablePointer<Unmanaged<CFDictionary>?>!) -> OSStatus
```

## Parameters

- `inItem`: The FSRef of the item to query.
- `inRoles`: The roles. When obtaining attributes related to document binding (such as kLSItemRoleHandlerDisplayName), at least one of the roles must be provided by the application selected. Pass kLSRolesAll if any role is acceptable.
- `inAttributeNames`: A CFArrayRef for an array containing the attribute names to copy. For possible values, see Item Attribute Constants.
- `outValues`: On return, a pointer a CFDictionaryRef for a dictionary whose keys are the attribute names specified by the inAttributeNames parameter and whose values are the attribute’s values. The CFTypeID of each value in the dictionary varies by attribute. See Item Attribute Constants for the data type of each value. If the item does not have a specified attribute, the key for the attribute is not in the dictionary.

## Return Value

Return Value A result code; see Result Codes.

## Discussion

Discussion Thread-safe since OS X v10.4.
