# vkRegisterDeviceEventEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkRegisterDeviceEventEXT - Signal a fence when a device event occurs

## C Specification

To create a fence that will be signaled when an event occurs on a device, call:

    VkResult vkRegisterDeviceEventEXT(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkDeviceEventInfoEXT*                 pDeviceEventInfo,
        const VkAllocationCallbacks*                pAllocator,
        VkFence*                                    pFence);

## Parameters

- `device` is a logical device on which the event may occur.

- `pDeviceEventInfo` is a pointer to a VkDeviceEventInfoEXT structure describing the event of interest to the application.

- `pAllocator` controls host memory allocation as described in the Memory Allocation chapter.

- `pFence` is a pointer to a handle in which the resulting fence object is returned.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- `device` must be a valid VkDevice handle

- `pDeviceEventInfo` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkDeviceEventInfoEXT structure

- If `pAllocator` is not `NULL`, `pAllocator` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkAllocationCallbacks structure

- `pFence` must be a valid pointer to a VkFence handle

Return Codes

On success, this command returns

  - `VK_SUCCESS`
