## Name

VkDebugUtilsObjectTagInfoEXT - Specify parameters of a tag to attach to an object

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkDebugUtilsObjectTagInfoEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_debug_utils
    typedef struct VkDebugUtilsObjectTagInfoEXT {
        VkStructureType    sType;
        const void*        pNext;
        VkObjectType       objectType;
        uint64_t           objectHandle;
        uint64_t           tagName;
        size_t             tagSize;
        const void*        pTag;
    } VkDebugUtilsObjectTagInfoEXT;

## Members

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

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

- `objectType` is a VkObjectType specifying the type of the object to be named.

- `objectHandle` is the object to be tagged.

- `tagName` is a numerical identifier of the tag.

- `tagSize` is the number of bytes of data to attach to the object.

- `pTag` is a pointer to an array of `tagSize` bytes containing the data to be associated with the object.

## Description

The `tagName` parameter gives a name or identifier to the type of data being tagged. This can be used by debugging layers to easily filter for only data that can be used by that implementation.

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkDebugUtilsObjectTagInfoEXT-objectType-01908
  `objectType` must not be `VK_OBJECT_TYPE_UNKNOWN`

- VUID-VkDebugUtilsObjectTagInfoEXT-objectHandle-01910
  `objectHandle` must be a valid Vulkan handle of the type associated with `objectType` as defined in the `VkObjectType` and Vulkan Handle Relationship table

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkDebugUtilsObjectTagInfoEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_DEBUG_UTILS_OBJECT_TAG_INFO_EXT`

- VUID-VkDebugUtilsObjectTagInfoEXT-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

- VUID-VkDebugUtilsObjectTagInfoEXT-objectType-parameter
  `objectType` must be a valid VkObjectType value

- VUID-VkDebugUtilsObjectTagInfoEXT-pTag-parameter
  `pTag` must be a valid pointer to an array of `tagSize` bytes

- VUID-VkDebugUtilsObjectTagInfoEXT-tagSize-arraylength
  `tagSize` must be greater than `0`
