## Name

VkImportScreenBufferInfoQNX - Import memory from a QNX Screen buffer

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

To import memory created outside of the current Vulkan instance from a QNX Screen buffer, add a `VkImportScreenBufferInfoQNX` structure to the `pNext` chain of the VkMemoryAllocateInfo structure. The `VkImportScreenBufferInfoQNX` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_QNX_external_memory_screen_buffer
    typedef struct VkImportScreenBufferInfoQNX {
        VkStructureType           sType;
        const void*               pNext;
        struct _screen_buffer*    buffer;
    } VkImportScreenBufferInfoQNX;

## Members

- `sType` is a VkStructureType value identifying this structure.

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

- `buffer` is a pointer to a `struct` `_screen_buffer`, the QNX Screen buffer to import

## Description

The implementation may not acquire a reference to the imported Screen buffer. Therefore, the application must ensure that the object referred to by `buffer` stays valid as long as the device memory to which it is imported is being used.

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkImportScreenBufferInfoQNX-buffer-08966
  If `buffer` is not `NULL`, QNX Screen Buffers must be supported for import, as reported by VkExternalImageFormatProperties or VkExternalBufferProperties

- VUID-VkImportScreenBufferInfoQNX-buffer-08967
  `buffer` is not `NULL`, it must be a pointer to valid QNX Screen buffer

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkImportScreenBufferInfoQNX-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_IMPORT_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO_QNX`
