<a name="lambda_example_lambda_GetPolicy_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `GetPolicy`.

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To retrieve the resource-based IAM policy for a function, version, or alias**  
The following `get-policy` example displays policy information about the `my-function` Lambda function.  

```
aws lambda get-policy \
    --function-name my-function
```
Output:  

```
{
    "Policy": {
        "Version":"2012-10-17",		 	 	 
        "Id":"default",
        "Statement":
        [
            {
                "Sid":"iot-events",
                "Effect":"Allow",
                "Principal": {"Service":"iotevents.amazonaws.com"},
                "Action":"lambda:InvokeFunction",
                "Resource":"arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:my-function"
            }
        ]
    },
