C Specification
The set of usages for the created image view can be restricted compared to
the parent image’s usage flags by adding a
VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo structure to the pNext chain of
VkImageViewCreateInfo.
The VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo structure is defined as:
typedef struct VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo {
VkStructureType sType;
const void* pNext;
VkImageUsageFlags usage;
} VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo;
or the equivalent
typedef VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo VkImageViewUsageCreateInfoKHR;
Members
-
sTypeis the type of this structure. -
pNextisNULLor a pointer to an extension-specific structure. -
usageis a bitmask describing the allowed usages of the image view. See VkImageUsageFlagBits for a description of the supported bits.
Description
When this structure is chained to VkImageViewCreateInfo the
usage field overrides the implicit usage parameter inherited
from image creation time and its value is used instead for the purposes of
determining the valid usage conditions of VkImageViewCreateInfo.
