# CFRunLoopRemoveTimer(_:_:_:)

Removes a CFRunLoopTimer object from a run loop mode.

```
func CFRunLoopRemoveTimer(_ rl: CFRunLoop!, _ timer: CFRunLoopTimer!, _ mode: CFRunLoopMode!)
```

## Parameters

`rl`

The run loop to modify.

`timer`

The run loop timer to remove.

`mode`

The run loop mode of `rl` from which to remove `timer`. Use the constant [`commonModes`](/documentation/CoreFoundation/CFRunLoopMode/commonModes) to remove `timer` from the set of objects monitored by all the common modes.

## Discussion

If `rl` does not contain `timer` in `mode`, this function does nothing.
