VKBUFFERVIEW(3)

NAME
VkBufferView - Opaque handle to a buffer view object

C SPECIFICATION

A buffer view represents a contiguous range of a buffer and a specific format to be used to interpret the data. Buffer views are used to enable shaders to access buffer contents interpreted as formatted data. In order to create a valid buffer view, the buffer must have been created with at least one of the following usage flags:

    • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_UNIFORM_TEXEL_BUFFER_BIT

    • VK_BUFFER_USAGE_STORAGE_TEXEL_BUFFER_BIT

Buffer views are represented by VkBufferView handles:

    VK_DEFINE_NON_DISPATCHABLE_HANDLE(VkBufferView)
