C Specification
The set of usages for the created image view can be restricted compared to
the parent image’s usage
flags by adding a
VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo
structure to the pNext
chain of
VkImageViewCreateInfo.
The VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo
structure is defined as:
// Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
typedef struct VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo {
VkStructureType sType;
const void* pNext;
VkImageUsageFlags usage;
} VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo;
or the equivalent
// Provided by VK_KHR_maintenance2
typedef VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo VkImageViewUsageCreateInfoKHR;
Members
-
sType
is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure. -
pNext
isNULL
or a pointer to a structure extending this structure. -
usage
is a bitmask of VkImageUsageFlagBits specifying allowed usages of the image view.
Description
When this structure is chained to VkImageViewCreateInfo the
usage
field overrides the implicit usage
parameter inherited
from image creation time and its value is used instead for the purposes of
determining the valid usage conditions of VkImageViewCreateInfo.
