To limit the inheritance level, provide a `level` argument. ```javascript var symbols = inheritedPropertySymbols( [ 1, 2, 3 ], 1 ); ``` </section> <!-- /.usage --> <section class="notes"> </section> <!-- /.notes --> <section class="examples"> ## Examples <!-- eslint no-undef: "error" --> ```javascript var hasSymbolSupport = require( '@stdlib/assert/has-symbol-support' ); var Symbol = require( '@stdlib/symbol/ctor' ); var inheritedPropertySymbols = require( '@stdlib/utils/inherited-property-symbols' ); var hasSymbols; var symbols; var obj; hasSymbols = hasSymbolSupport(); function Foo() { if ( hasSymbols ) { this[ Symbol( 'a' ) ] = 'b'; } return this; } if ( hasSymbols ) { Foo.prototype[ Symbol( 'c' ) ] = 'd'; } obj = new Foo(); symbols = inheritedPropertySymbols( obj ); console.log( symbols ); ``` </section> <!-- /.examples --> <section class="links"> [@stdlib/symbol/ctor]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@stdlib/symbol-ctor </section> <!-- /.links -->
