# SetName

Sets the name of the object.

```
kern_return_t SetName(OSString *in_name);
```

## Parameters

`in_name`

The name to set, as an <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/DriverKit/OSString>.

## Return Value

<doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/DriverKit/kIOReturnSuccess> on success, or another value if an error occurs. For a list of error codes, see <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/DriverKit/error-codes>.

## Discussion

If the change succeeds, the framework sends a notification to the host to update its object state. Setting the name synchronizes by using the work queue created by the object.
