# xpc_array_create_connection(_:_:)

Creates a connection object from an array directly.

```
func xpc_array_create_connection(_ xarray: xpc_object_t, _ index: Int) -> xpc_connection_t?
```

## Parameters

`xarray`

The array which is to be examined.

`index`

The index of the value to obtain. This value must lie within the index space of the array (0 to N-1 inclusive, where N is the count of the array). If the index is outside that range, the behavior is undefined.

## Return Value

A new connection created from the value at the specified index. You are responsible for calling [`xpc_release`](/documentation/XPC/xpc_release) on the returned connection. `NULL` if the value at the specified index is not an endpoint containing a connection. Each call to this method for the same index in the same array will yield a different connection. See [`xpc_connection_create_from_endpoint(_:)`](/documentation/XPC/xpc_connection_create_from_endpoint(_:)) for discussion as to the responsibilities when dealing with the returned connection.
