# xpc_array_get_data(_:_:_:)

Gets a pointer to the raw bytes of a data object from an array directly.

```
func xpc_array_get_data(_ xarray: xpc_object_t, _ index: Int, _ length: UnsafeMutablePointer<Int>?) -> UnsafeRawPointer?
```

## 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.

`length`

Upon return output, will contain the length of the data corresponding to the specified key.

## Return Value

The underlying bytes at the specified index. NULL if the value at the specified index is not a data value.
