C Specification

Windows memory handles compatible with Vulkan may also be created by non-Vulkan APIs using methods beyond the scope of this specification. To determine the correct parameters to use when importing such handles, call:

// Provided by VK_KHR_external_memory_win32
VkResult vkGetMemoryWin32HandlePropertiesKHR(
    VkDevice                                    device,
    VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits          handleType,
    HANDLE                                      handle,
    VkMemoryWin32HandlePropertiesKHR*           pMemoryWin32HandleProperties);

Parameters

  • device is the logical device that will be importing handle.

  • handleType is a VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits value specifying the type of the handle handle.

  • handle is the handle which will be imported.

  • pMemoryWin32HandleProperties is a pointer to a VkMemoryWin32HandlePropertiesKHR structure in which properties of handle are returned.

Description

Valid Usage
  • VUID-vkGetMemoryWin32HandlePropertiesKHR-handle-00665
    handle must point to a valid Windows memory handle

  • VUID-vkGetMemoryWin32HandlePropertiesKHR-handleType-00666
    handleType must not be one of the handle types defined as opaque

Valid Usage (Implicit)
  • VUID-vkGetMemoryWin32HandlePropertiesKHR-device-parameter
    device must be a valid VkDevice handle

  • VUID-vkGetMemoryWin32HandlePropertiesKHR-handleType-parameter
    handleType must be a valid VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits value

  • VUID-vkGetMemoryWin32HandlePropertiesKHR-pMemoryWin32HandleProperties-parameter
    pMemoryWin32HandleProperties must be a valid pointer to a VkMemoryWin32HandlePropertiesKHR structure

Return Codes
On success, this command returns
  • VK_SUCCESS

On failure, this command returns
  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_INVALID_EXTERNAL_HANDLE
