# SecTaskCopySigningIdentifier(_:_:)

Returns the value of the code signing identifier.

```
func SecTaskCopySigningIdentifier(_ task: SecTask, _ error: UnsafeMutablePointer<Unmanaged<CFError>?>?) -> CFString?
```

## Parameters

`task`

The task whose code signing identifier you want.

`error`

A pointer that the function uses to provide an error object with details if an error occurs. The caller becomes responsible for the object’s memory. Pass `NULL` to ignore the error.

## Return Value

A string representing the code signing identifier for the task, or `NULL` on error. In Objective-C, call the <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CoreFoundation/CFRelease> function to free this string’s memory when you are done with it.
