# VkVideoDecodeCapabilitiesKHR(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkVideoDecodeCapabilitiesKHR - Structure specifying decode capabilities

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

When calling vkGetPhysicalDeviceVideoCapabilitiesKHR with `pVideoProfile->videoCodecOperation` specified as one of the decode operation bits, the VkVideoDecodeCapabilitiesKHR structure must be included in the `pNext` chain of the VkVideoCapabilitiesKHR structure to retrieve capabilities specific to video decoding.

The `VkVideoDecodeCapabilitiesKHR` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_KHR_video_decode_queue
    typedef struct VkVideoDecodeCapabilitiesKHR {
        VkStructureType                    sType;
        void*                              pNext;
        VkVideoDecodeCapabilityFlagsKHR    flags;
    } VkVideoDecodeCapabilitiesKHR;

## Members

- `sType` is the type of this structure.

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

- `flags` is a bitmask of VkVideoDecodeCapabilityFlagBitsKHR describing supported decoding features.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkVideoDecodeCapabilitiesKHR-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_VIDEO_DECODE_CAPABILITIES_KHR`
