# CTRunGetStatus(_:)

Returns the run’s status.

## Declaration

```swift
func CTRunGetStatus(_ run: CTRun) -> CTRunStatus
```

## Parameters

- `run`: The run for which to return the status.

## Return Value

Return Value The run’s status.

## Discussion

Discussion Runs have status that can be used to expedite certain operations. Knowing the direction and ordering of a run’s glyphs can aid in string index analysis, whereas knowing whether the positions reference the identity text matrix can avoid expensive comparisons. This status is provided as a convenience, because this information is not strictly necessary but can be helpful in some circumstances.
