# cacheName

The name of the file used to cache section information.

```
var cacheName: String? { get }
```

## Discussion

The file itself is stored in a private directory; you can only access it by name using [`deleteCache(withName:)`](/documentation/CoreData/NSFetchedResultsController/deleteCache(withName:))

[`init(fetchRequest:managedObjectContext:sectionNameKeyPath:cacheName:)`](/documentation/CoreData/NSFetchedResultsController/init(fetchRequest:managedObjectContext:sectionNameKeyPath:cacheName:))
