# fetchCollectionListsContaining(_:options:)

Retrieves collection lists that contain the specified collection.

## Declaration

```swift
class func fetchCollectionListsContaining(_ collection: PHCollection, options: PHFetchOptions?) -> PHFetchResult<PHCollectionList>
```

## Parameters

- `collection`: An asset collection or another collection list.
- `options`: Options that specify a filter predicate and sort order for the fetched collection lists, or nil to use default options. For details, see doc://com.apple.photokit/documentation/Photos/PHFetchOptions.

## Return Value

Return Value A fetch result that contains the requested PHCollectionList objects, or an empty fetch result if no objects match the request.

## Discussion

Discussion Different kinds of collections have different containment possibilities. For example, an asset collection whose type is PHAssetCollectionType.album may be contained in a folder, or have no containing collection list. A folder, in turn, may be contained in another folder. An asset collection whose type is PHAssetCollectionType.moment is always contained by two collection lists: a moment cluster and a moment year.
