C Specification

The VkMemoryGetMetalHandleInfoEXT structure is defined as:

// Provided by VK_EXT_external_memory_metal
typedef struct VkMemoryGetMetalHandleInfoEXT {
    VkStructureType                       sType;
    const void*                           pNext;
    VkDeviceMemory                        memory;
    VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits    handleType;
} VkMemoryGetMetalHandleInfoEXT;

Members

  • sType is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

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

  • memory is the memory object from which the handle will be exported.

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

Description

The properties of the handle returned depend on the value of handleType. See VkExternalMemoryHandleTypeFlagBits for a description of the properties of the defined external memory handle types.
