C Specification

To copy data from a buffer object to an image object, call:

// Provided by VK_KHR_copy_commands2
void vkCmdCopyBufferToImage2KHR(
    VkCommandBuffer                             commandBuffer,
    const VkCopyBufferToImageInfo2*             pCopyBufferToImageInfo);

Parameters

  • commandBuffer is the command buffer into which the command will be recorded.

  • pCopyBufferToImageInfo is a pointer to a VkCopyBufferToImageInfo2 structure describing the copy parameters.

Description

This command is functionally identical to vkCmdCopyBufferToImage, but includes extensible sub-structures that include sType and pNext parameters, allowing them to be more easily extended.

Valid Usage
  • VUID-vkCmdCopyBufferToImage2-commandBuffer-01828
    If commandBuffer is an unprotected command buffer and protectedNoFault is not supported, srcBuffer must not be a protected buffer

  • VUID-vkCmdCopyBufferToImage2-commandBuffer-01829
    If commandBuffer is an unprotected command buffer and protectedNoFault is not supported, dstImage must not be a protected image

  • VUID-vkCmdCopyBufferToImage2-commandBuffer-01830
    If commandBuffer is a protected command buffer and protectedNoFault is not supported, dstImage must not be an unprotected image

  • VUID-vkCmdCopyBufferToImage2-commandBuffer-07737
    If the queue family used to create the VkCommandPool which commandBuffer was allocated from does not support VK_QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT or VK_QUEUE_COMPUTE_BIT, the bufferOffset member of any element of pCopyBufferToImageInfo->pRegions must be a multiple of 4

  • VUID-vkCmdCopyBufferToImage2-imageOffset-07738
    The imageOffset and imageExtent members of each element of pCopyBufferToImageInfo->pRegions must respect the image transfer granularity requirements of commandBuffer’s command pool’s queue family, as described in VkQueueFamilyProperties

  • VUID-vkCmdCopyBufferToImage2-commandBuffer-07739
    If the queue family used to create the VkCommandPool which commandBuffer was allocated from does not support VK_QUEUE_GRAPHICS_BIT, for each element of pCopyBufferToImageInfo->pRegions, the aspectMask member of imageSubresource must not be VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_DEPTH_BIT or VK_IMAGE_ASPECT_STENCIL_BIT

Valid Usage (Implicit)
  • VUID-vkCmdCopyBufferToImage2-commandBuffer-parameter
    commandBuffer must be a valid VkCommandBuffer handle

  • VUID-vkCmdCopyBufferToImage2-pCopyBufferToImageInfo-parameter
    pCopyBufferToImageInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkCopyBufferToImageInfo2 structure

  • VUID-vkCmdCopyBufferToImage2-commandBuffer-recording
    commandBuffer must be in the recording state

  • VUID-vkCmdCopyBufferToImage2-commandBuffer-cmdpool
    The VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must support transfer, graphics, or compute operations

  • VUID-vkCmdCopyBufferToImage2-renderpass
    This command must only be called outside of a render pass instance

Host Synchronization
  • Host access to commandBuffer must be externally synchronized

  • Host access to the VkCommandPool that commandBuffer was allocated from must be externally synchronized
