C Specification

A complete display configuration includes a mode, one or more display planes and any parameters describing their behavior, and parameters describing some aspects of the images associated with those planes. Display surfaces describe the configuration of a single plane within a complete display configuration. To create a VkSurfaceKHR object for a display plane, call:

// Provided by VK_KHR_display
VkResult vkCreateDisplayPlaneSurfaceKHR(
    VkInstance                                  instance,
    const VkDisplaySurfaceCreateInfoKHR*        pCreateInfo,
    const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
    VkSurfaceKHR*                               pSurface);

Parameters

  • instance is the instance corresponding to the physical device the targeted display is on.

  • pCreateInfo is a pointer to a VkDisplaySurfaceCreateInfoKHR structure specifying which mode, plane, and other parameters to use, as described below.

  • pAllocator is the allocator used for host memory allocated for the surface object when there is no more specific allocator available (see Memory Allocation).

  • pSurface is a pointer to a VkSurfaceKHR handle in which the created surface is returned.

Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)
  • VUID-vkCreateDisplayPlaneSurfaceKHR-instance-parameter
    instance must be a valid VkInstance handle

  • VUID-vkCreateDisplayPlaneSurfaceKHR-pCreateInfo-parameter
    pCreateInfo must be a valid pointer to a valid VkDisplaySurfaceCreateInfoKHR structure

  • VUID-vkCreateDisplayPlaneSurfaceKHR-pAllocator-parameter
    If pAllocator is not NULL, pAllocator must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

  • VUID-vkCreateDisplayPlaneSurfaceKHR-pSurface-parameter
    pSurface must be a valid pointer to a VkSurfaceKHR handle

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
