C Specification

The VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_KHR_external_semaphore_fd
typedef struct VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR {
    VkStructureType                          sType;
    const void*                              pNext;
    VkSemaphore                              semaphore;
    VkExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlagBits    handleType;
} VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

  • pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

  • semaphore is the semaphore from which state will be exported.

  • handleType is a VkExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlagBits value specifying the type of handle requested.

Description

The properties of the file descriptor returned depend on the value of handleType. See VkExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlagBits for a description of the properties of the defined external semaphore handle types.

Valid Usage
  • VUID-VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR-handleType-01132
    handleType must have been included in VkExportSemaphoreCreateInfo::handleTypes when semaphore’s current payload was created

  • VUID-VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR-semaphore-01133
    semaphore must not currently have its payload replaced by an imported payload as described below in Importing Semaphore Payloads unless that imported payload’s handle type was included in VkExternalSemaphoreProperties::exportFromImportedHandleTypes for handleType

  • VUID-VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR-handleType-01134
    If handleType refers to a handle type with copy payload transference semantics, as defined below in Importing Semaphore Payloads, there must be no queue waiting on semaphore

  • VUID-VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR-handleType-01135
    If handleType refers to a handle type with copy payload transference semantics, semaphore must be signaled, or have an associated semaphore signal operation pending execution

  • VUID-VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR-handleType-01136
    handleType must be defined as a POSIX file descriptor handle

  • VUID-VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR-handleType-03253
    If handleType refers to a handle type with copy payload transference semantics, semaphore must have been created with a VkSemaphoreType of VK_SEMAPHORE_TYPE_BINARY

  • VUID-VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR-handleType-03254
    If handleType refers to a handle type with copy payload transference semantics, semaphore must have an associated semaphore signal operation that has been submitted for execution and any semaphore signal operations on which it depends must have also been submitted for execution

Valid Usage (Implicit)
  • VUID-VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_SEMAPHORE_GET_FD_INFO_KHR

  • VUID-VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR-pNext-pNext
    pNext must be NULL

  • VUID-VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR-semaphore-parameter
    semaphore must be a valid VkSemaphore handle

  • VUID-VkSemaphoreGetFdInfoKHR-handleType-parameter
    handleType must be a valid VkExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlagBits value
