# VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryCreateInfoEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryCreateInfoEXT - Structure specifying the subsets of the graphics pipeline being compiled

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

The `VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryCreateInfoEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library
    typedef struct VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryCreateInfoEXT {
        VkStructureType                      sType;
        void*                                pNext;
        VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryFlagsEXT    flags;
    } VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryCreateInfoEXT;

## 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 VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryFlagBitsEXT specifying the subsets of the graphics pipeline that are being compiled.

## Description

If a `VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryCreateInfoEXT` structure is included in the `pNext` chain of VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo, it specifies the subsets of the graphics pipeline being created.

If this structure is omitted, and either VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo::`flags` includes `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_LIBRARY_BIT_KHR` or the VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo::`pNext` chain includes a VkPipelineLibraryCreateInfoKHR structure with a `libraryCount` greater than `0`, it is as if `flags` is `0`. Otherwise if this structure is omitted, it is as if `flags` includes all possible subsets of the graphics pipeline (i.e. a complete graphics pipeline).

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryCreateInfoEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_GRAPHICS_PIPELINE_LIBRARY_CREATE_INFO_EXT`

- VUID-VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryCreateInfoEXT-flags-parameter
  `flags` must be a valid combination of VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryFlagBitsEXT values

- VUID-VkGraphicsPipelineLibraryCreateInfoEXT-flags-requiredbitmask
  `flags` must not be `0`
