# class_copyPropertyList(_:_:)

Describes the properties declared by a class.

## Declaration

```swift
func class_copyPropertyList(_ cls: AnyClass?, _ outCount: UnsafeMutablePointer<UInt32>?) -> UnsafeMutablePointer<objc_property_t>?
```

## Parameters

- `cls`: The class you want to inspect.
- `outCount`: On return, contains the length of the returned array. If outCount is NULL, the length is not returned.

## Return Value

Return Value An array of pointers of type objc_property_t describing the properties declared by the class. Any properties declared by superclasses are not included. The array contains *outCount pointers followed by a NULL terminator. You must free the array with free(). If cls declares no properties, or cls is Nil, returns NULL and *outCount is 0.
