## Name

VkImageViewHandleInfoNVX - Structure specifying the image view for handle queries

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkImageViewHandleInfoNVX` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_NVX_image_view_handle
    typedef struct VkImageViewHandleInfoNVX {
        VkStructureType     sType;
        const void*         pNext;
        VkImageView         imageView;
        VkDescriptorType    descriptorType;
        VkSampler           sampler;
    } VkImageViewHandleInfoNVX;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `imageView` is the image view to query.

- `descriptorType` is the type of descriptor for which to query a handle.

- `sampler` is the sampler to combine with the image view when generating the handle.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkImageViewHandleInfoNVX-descriptorType-02654
  `descriptorType` must be `VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLED_IMAGE`, `VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_IMAGE`, or `VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_COMBINED_IMAGE_SAMPLER`

- VUID-VkImageViewHandleInfoNVX-sampler-02655
  `sampler` must be a valid VkSampler if `descriptorType` is `VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_COMBINED_IMAGE_SAMPLER`

- VUID-VkImageViewHandleInfoNVX-imageView-02656
  If descriptorType is `VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_SAMPLED_IMAGE` or `VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_COMBINED_IMAGE_SAMPLER`, the image that `imageView` was created from must have been created with the `VK_IMAGE_USAGE_SAMPLED_BIT` usage bit set

- VUID-VkImageViewHandleInfoNVX-imageView-02657
  If descriptorType is `VK_DESCRIPTOR_TYPE_STORAGE_IMAGE`, the image that `imageView` was created from must have been created with the `VK_IMAGE_USAGE_STORAGE_BIT` usage bit set

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkImageViewHandleInfoNVX-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMAGE_VIEW_HANDLE_INFO_NVX`

- VUID-VkImageViewHandleInfoNVX-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

- VUID-VkImageViewHandleInfoNVX-imageView-parameter
  `imageView` must be a valid VkImageView handle

- VUID-VkImageViewHandleInfoNVX-descriptorType-parameter
  `descriptorType` must be a valid VkDescriptorType value

- VUID-VkImageViewHandleInfoNVX-sampler-parameter
  If `sampler` is not VK_NULL_HANDLE, `sampler` must be a valid VkSampler handle

- VUID-VkImageViewHandleInfoNVX-commonparent
  Both of `imageView`, and `sampler` that are valid handles of non-ignored parameters must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from the same VkDevice
