# inheritedKeys
> Return an array of an object's inherited enumerable property names.
## Usage
```javascript
var inheritedKeys = require( '@stdlib/utils/inherited-keys' );
```
#### inheritedKeys( obj\[, level] )
Returns an `array` of an object's inherited enumerable property names.
```javascript
function Foo() {
this.a = 'b';
return this;
}
Foo.prototype.beep = 'boop';
var f = new Foo();
var keys = inheritedKeys( f );
// returns [ 'beep' ]
```
By default, the function walks an object's entire prototype chain. To limit the inheritance level, provide a `level` argument.
```javascript
var inherit = require( '@stdlib/utils/inherit' );
function Bar() {
return this;
}
Bar.prototype.boop = 'beep';
function Foo() {
Bar.call( this );
this.a = 'b';
return this;
}
inherit( Foo, Bar );
Foo.prototype.beep = 'boop';
var f = new Foo();
var keys = inheritedKeys( f, 1 );
// returns [ 'beep' ]
```
## Notes
- Name order is not guaranteed, as `object` key enumeration is not specified according to the [ECMAScript specification][ecma-262-for-in]. In practice, however, most engines use insertion order to sort an `object`'s keys, thus allowing for deterministic extraction.
## Examples
```javascript
var defineProperty = require( '@stdlib/utils/define-property' );
var inheritedKeys = require( '@stdlib/utils/inherited-keys' );
function Foo() {
this.beep = 'boop';
this.a = {
'b': 'c'
};
defineProperty( this, 'baz', {
'configurable': false,
'enumerable': false,
'writable': true,
'value': 'qux'
});
return this;
}
Foo.prototype.foo = [ 'bar' ];
defineProperty( Foo.prototype, 'bip', {
'configurable': false,
'enumerable': false,
'writable': false,
'value': 'bop'
});
var obj = new Foo();
var keys = inheritedKeys( obj );
console.log( keys );
// => [ 'foo' ]
```
