C Specification

The xrGetSpatialBufferUint32EXT function is defined as:

// Provided by XR_EXT_spatial_entity
XrResult xrGetSpatialBufferUint32EXT(
    XrSpatialSnapshotEXT                        snapshot,
    const XrSpatialBufferGetInfoEXT*            info,
    uint32_t                                    bufferCapacityInput,
    uint32_t*                                   bufferCountOutput,
    uint32_t*                                   buffer);

Parameters

Parameter Descriptions

  • snapshot is a handle to an XrSpatialSnapshotEXT.

  • info holds the information on the buffer to query.

  • bufferCapacityInput is the capacity of the array, or 0 to indicate a request to retrieve the required capacity.

  • bufferCountOutput is the number of elements in the buffer array, or the required capacity in the case that bufferCapacityInput is insufficient.

  • buffer is an array of uint32_t. It can be NULL if bufferCapacityInput is 0.

  • See the https://registry.khronos.org/OpenXR/specs/1.1/html/xrspec.html#fundamentals-buffer-size-parameters section for a detailed description of retrieving the required buffer size.

Description

The application can get the data for an XrSpatialBufferEXT provided by a component, where XrSpatialBufferEXT::bufferType is XR_SPATIAL_BUFFER_TYPE_UINT32_EXT by using xrGetSpatialBufferUint32EXT.

The runtime must return XR_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILURE if the XrSpatialBufferTypeEXT for XrSpatialBufferGetInfoEXT::bufferId is not XR_SPATIAL_BUFFER_TYPE_UINT32_EXT.

The runtime must return XR_ERROR_SPATIAL_BUFFER_ID_INVALID_EXT if XrSpatialBufferGetInfoEXT::bufferId does not belong to snapshot.

Valid Usage (Implicit)
Return Codes

  • XR_ERROR_HANDLE_INVALID

  • XR_ERROR_INSTANCE_LOST

  • XR_ERROR_SESSION_LOST

  • XR_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY
