C Specification

To determine whether a queue family of a physical device supports presentation to a given surface, call:

// Provided by VK_KHR_surface
VkResult vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR(
    VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
    uint32_t                                    queueFamilyIndex,
    VkSurfaceKHR                                surface,
    VkBool32*                                   pSupported);

Parameters

  • physicalDevice is the physical device.

  • queueFamilyIndex is the queue family.

  • surface is the surface.

  • pSupported is a pointer to a VkBool32, which is set to VK_TRUE to indicate support, and VK_FALSE otherwise.

Description

If VkPhysicalDeviceVulkanSC10Properties::deviceNoDynamicHostAllocations is VK_TRUE, vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR must not return VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY.

Valid Usage

  • VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR-queueFamilyIndex-01269
    queueFamilyIndex must be less than pQueueFamilyPropertyCount returned by vkGetPhysicalDeviceQueueFamilyProperties for the given physicalDevice

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR-physicalDevice-parameter
    physicalDevice must be a valid VkPhysicalDevice handle

  • VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR-surface-parameter
    surface must be a valid VkSurfaceKHR handle

  • VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR-pSupported-parameter
    pSupported must be a valid pointer to a VkBool32 value

  • VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR-commonparent
    Both of physicalDevice, and surface must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from the same VkInstance

Return Codes
On success, this command returns

  • VK_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_SURFACE_LOST_KHR
