C Specification
To export a Windows handle representing the payload of a semaphore, call:
VkResult vkGetSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR(
VkDevice device,
const VkSemaphoreGetWin32HandleInfoKHR* pGetWin32HandleInfo,
HANDLE* pHandle);
Parameters
-
deviceis the logical device that created the semaphore being exported. -
pGetWin32HandleInfois a pointer to a VkSemaphoreGetWin32HandleInfoKHR structure containing parameters of the export operation. -
pHandlewill return the Windows handle representing the semaphore state.
Description
For handle types defined as NT handles, the handles returned by
vkGetSemaphoreWin32HandleKHR are owned by the application.
To avoid leaking resources, the application must release ownership of them
using the CloseHandle system call when they are no longer needed.
Exporting a Windows handle from a semaphore may have side effects depending on the transference of the specified handle type, as described in Importing Semaphore Payloads.
