# VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo - Structure specifying the parameters of a newly created pipeline layout object

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    typedef struct VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo {
        VkStructureType                 sType;
        const void*                     pNext;
        VkPipelineLayoutCreateFlags     flags;
        uint32_t                        setLayoutCount;
        const VkDescriptorSetLayout*    pSetLayouts;
        uint32_t                        pushConstantRangeCount;
        const VkPushConstantRange*      pPushConstantRanges;
    } VkPipelineLayoutCreateInfo;

## Members

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

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

- `flags` is a bitmask of VkPipelineLayoutCreateFlagBits specifying options for pipeline layout creation.

- `setLayoutCount` is the number of descriptor sets included in the pipeline layout.

- `pSetLayouts` is a pointer to an array of `VkDescriptorSetLayout` objects.

- `pushConstantRangeCount` is the number of push constant ranges included in the pipeline layout.

- `pPushConstantRanges` is a pointer to an array of `VkPushConstantRange` structures defining a set of push constant ranges for use in a single pipeline layout. In addition to descriptor set layouts, a pipeline layout also describes how many push constants can be accessed by each stage of the pipeline.

  Note | Push constants represent a high speed path to modify constant data in pipelines that is expected to outperform memory-backed resource updates.
