## Name

VkExternalBufferProperties - Structure specifying supported external handle capabilities

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkExternalBufferProperties` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_1
    typedef struct VkExternalBufferProperties {
        VkStructureType               sType;
        void*                         pNext;
        VkExternalMemoryProperties    externalMemoryProperties;
    } VkExternalBufferProperties;

or the equivalent

    // Provided by VK_KHR_external_memory_capabilities
    typedef VkExternalBufferProperties VkExternalBufferPropertiesKHR;

## Members

- `sType` is the type of this structure.

- `pNext` is `NULL` or a pointer to a structure extending this structure.

- `externalMemoryProperties` is a VkExternalMemoryProperties structure specifying various capabilities of the external handle type when used with the specified buffer creation parameters.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkExternalBufferProperties-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_EXTERNAL_BUFFER_PROPERTIES`

- VUID-VkExternalBufferProperties-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`
