# linkedFramework(_:_:)

Declares linkage to a system framework.

## Declaration

```swift
static func linkedFramework(_ framework: String, _ condition: BuildSettingCondition? = nil) -> LinkerSetting
```

## Parameters

- `framework`: The framework name.
- `condition`: A condition that restricts the application of the build setting.

## Discussion

Discussion This setting is most useful when the framework can’t be linked automatically, such as C++ based frameworks and non-modular frameworks. note: First available in PackageDescription 5.0.
