C Specification

If the pNext chain includes a VkExternalMemoryImageCreateInfoNV structure, then that structure defines a set of external memory handle types that may be used as backing store for the image.

The VkExternalMemoryImageCreateInfoNV structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_NV_external_memory
typedef struct VkExternalMemoryImageCreateInfoNV {
    VkStructureType                      sType;
    const void*                          pNext;
    VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagsNV    handleTypes;
} VkExternalMemoryImageCreateInfoNV;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

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

  • handleTypes is zero or a bitmask of VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBitsNV specifying one or more external memory handle types.

Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-VkExternalMemoryImageCreateInfoNV-sType-sType
    sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_IMAGE_CREATE_INFO_NV

  • VUID-VkExternalMemoryImageCreateInfoNV-handleTypes-parameter
    handleTypes must be a valid combination of VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBitsNV values
