# getPathID(_:fromParameter:at:)

Retrieves the (possibly keyframed) value of a pathID parameter at a given time.

## Declaration

```swift
func getPathID(_ pathID: UnsafeMutablePointer<FxPathID?>, fromParameter parameterID: UInt32, at time: CMTime) -> Bool
```

## Parameters

- `pathID`: Receives the path ID of the parameter at the given time.
- `parameterID`: Unique identifier for the parameter.
- `time`: Specified time to get the value.

## Return Value

Return Value Returns YES if the pathID is retrieved successfully; NO otherwise.

## Discussion

Discussion Depending on the host application, the time value may be relative to the start of the timeline or to the start of the clip. See Understanding time in FxPlug.
