C Specification
A buffer view represents a contiguous range of a buffer and a specific format to be used to interpret the data. Buffer views are used to enable shaders to access buffer contents using image operations. In order to create a valid buffer view, the buffer must have been created with at least one of the following usage flags:
-
VK_BUFFER_USAGE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER_BIT
-
VK_BUFFER_USAGE_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER_BIT
Buffer views are represented by VkBufferView
handles:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE(VkBufferView)
