# indexes(options:passingTest:)

Returns an `NSIndexSet` containing the receiving index set’s objects that pass the Block test using the specified enumeration options.

```
func indexes(options opts: NSEnumerationOptions = [], passingTest predicate: (Int, UnsafeMutablePointer<ObjCBool>) -> Bool) -> IndexSet
```

## Parameters

`opts`

A bitmask that specifies the options for the enumeration (whether it should be performed concurrently and whether it should be performed in reverse order). See [`NSEnumerationOptions`](/documentation/Foundation/NSEnumerationOptions) for the supported values.

`predicate`

The Block to apply to elements in the set.

    The Block takes two arguments:

- idx: The index of the object.
- stop: A reference to a Boolean value. The block can set the value to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> to stop further processing of the set. The `stop` argument is an out-only argument. You should only ever set this Boolean to YES within the Block.

    The Block returns a Boolean value that indicates whether     `obj`     passed the test.

## Return Value

An `NSIndexSet` containing the indexes of the receiving index set that passed the predicate Block test.
