VkExportMemoryAllocateInfoNV(3)

C Specification

The VkExportMemoryAllocateInfoNV structure is defined as:

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

Members

sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.
pNext is NULL or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.
handleTypes is a bitmask of VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBitsNV specifying one or more memory handle types that may be exported. Multiple handle types may be requested for the same allocation as long as they are compatible, as reported by vkGetPhysicalDeviceExternalImageFormatPropertiesNV.

Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

VUID-VkExportMemoryAllocateInfoNV-sType-sType
sType must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_EXPORT_MEMORY_ALLOCATE_INFO_NV
VUID-VkExportMemoryAllocateInfoNV-handleTypes-parameter
handleTypes must be a valid combination of VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBitsNV values
