# CTRunGetAttributes(_:)

Returns the attribute dictionary that was used to create the glyph run.

## Declaration

```swift
func CTRunGetAttributes(_ run: CTRun) -> CFDictionary
```

## Parameters

- `run`: The run for which to return attributes.

## Return Value

Return Value A valid CFDictionary or NULL on error or if the run has no attributes.

## Discussion

Discussion The dictionary returned is either the same one that was set as an attribute dictionary on the original attributed string or a dictionary that has been manufactured by the layout engine. Attribute dictionaries can be manufactured in the case of font substitution or if the run is missing critical attributes.
