# VkExternalSemaphoreProperties(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkExternalSemaphoreProperties - Structure describing supported external semaphore handle features

## C Specification

The `VkExternalSemaphoreProperties` structure is defined as:

    typedef struct VkExternalSemaphoreProperties {
        VkStructureType                       sType;
        void*                                 pNext;
        VkExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlags    exportFromImportedHandleTypes;
        VkExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlags    compatibleHandleTypes;
        VkExternalSemaphoreFeatureFlags       externalSemaphoreFeatures;
    } VkExternalSemaphoreProperties;

or the equivalent

    typedef VkExternalSemaphoreProperties VkExternalSemaphorePropertiesKHR;

## Members

- `exportFromImportedHandleTypes` is a bitmask of VkExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlagBits specifying which types of imported handle `handleType` can be exported from.

- `compatibleHandleTypes` is a bitmask of VkExternalSemaphoreHandleTypeFlagBits specifying handle types which can be specified at the same time as `handleType` when creating a semaphore.

- `externalSemaphoreFeatures` is a bitmask of VkExternalSemaphoreFeatureFlagBits describing the features of `handleType`.

## Description

If `handleType` is not supported by the implementation, then VkExternalSemaphoreProperties::`externalSemaphoreFeatures` will be set to zero.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_EXTERNAL_SEMAPHORE_PROPERTIES`

- `pNext` must be `NULL`
