| [LocalKeyword](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/rendering/localkeyword.md) | Returns a valid [LocalKeyword](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/rendering/localkeyword.md) if it's present in the keyword space. Otherwise, returns an invalid [LocalKeyword](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/rendering/localkeyword.md). |

### Remarks

Use this method to efficiently retrieve a local shader keyword with a given name. The resulting keyword's [LocalKeyword.isValid](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/rendering/localkeyword/isvalid.md) property indicates whether the keyword exists in this local keyword space.
