# SecTransformFindByName(_:_:)

Finds a member of a transform group by its name.

## Declaration

```swift
func SecTransformFindByName(_ transform: SecGroupTransform, _ name: CFString) -> SecTransform?
```

## Parameters

- `transform`: The transform group to be searched.
- `name`: The name of the transform to be found.

## Return Value

Return Value The transform group member, or NULL if the member was not found.

## Discussion

Discussion When a transform instance is created you give it a unique name. This name can be used to find that instance in a group. While it is possible to use the SecTransformSetAttribute(_:_:_:_:) function to change a transform’s name after creating it, this is not recommended because doing so causes the SecTransformFindByName(_:_:) function to misbehave.
