# SecTransformCreate(_:_:) Creates a transform computation object. ``` func SecTransformCreate(_ name: CFString, _ error: UnsafeMutablePointer?>?) -> SecTransform? ``` ## Parameters `name` The type of transform to create. Use one of the pre-defined transform types or a custom type that you previously registered using [`SecTransformRegister(_:_:_:)`](/documentation/Security/SecTransformRegister(_:_:_:)). `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 pointer to a new transform or `NULL` on failure. In Objective-C, call the function to free this object’s memory when you are done with it. ## Discussion --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
