# VkPipelineCacheHeaderVersionOne(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPipelineCacheHeaderVersionOne - Structure describing the layout of the pipeline cache header

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

Version one of the pipeline cache header is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    typedef struct VkPipelineCacheHeaderVersionOne {
        uint32_t                        headerSize;
        VkPipelineCacheHeaderVersion    headerVersion;
        uint32_t                        vendorID;
        uint32_t                        deviceID;
        uint8_t                         pipelineCacheUUID[VK_UUID_SIZE];
    } VkPipelineCacheHeaderVersionOne;

## Members

- `headerSize` is the length in bytes of the pipeline cache header.

- `headerVersion` is a VkPipelineCacheHeaderVersion value specifying the version of the header. A consumer of the pipeline cache should use the cache version to interpret the remainder of the cache header.

- `vendorID` is the `VkPhysicalDeviceProperties`::`vendorID` of the implementation.

- `deviceID` is the `VkPhysicalDeviceProperties`::`deviceID` of the implementation.

- `pipelineCacheUUID` is the `VkPhysicalDeviceProperties`::`pipelineCacheUUID` of the implementation.

## Description

Unlike most structures declared by the Vulkan API, all fields of this structure are written with the least significant byte first, regardless of host byte-order.

The C language specification does not define the packing of structure members. This layout assumes tight structure member packing, with members laid out in the order listed in the structure, and the intended size of the structure is 32 bytes. If a compiler produces code that diverges from that pattern, applications must employ another method to set values at the correct offsets.

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkPipelineCacheHeaderVersionOne-headerSize-04967
  `headerSize` must be 32

- VUID-VkPipelineCacheHeaderVersionOne-headerVersion-04968
  `headerVersion` must be `VK_PIPELINE_CACHE_HEADER_VERSION_ONE`

- VUID-VkPipelineCacheHeaderVersionOne-headerSize-08990
  `headerSize` must not exceed the size of the pipeline cache

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPipelineCacheHeaderVersionOne-headerVersion-parameter
  `headerVersion` must be a valid VkPipelineCacheHeaderVersion value
