## Name

VkLayerSettingsCreateInfoEXT - Specify layer capabilities for a Vulkan instance

Loading… please wait.

## C Specification

To create a Vulkan instance with a specific configuration of layer settings, add VkLayerSettingsCreateInfoEXT structures to the `pNext` chain of the VkInstanceCreateInfo structure, specifying the settings to be configured.

    // Provided by VK_EXT_layer_settings
    typedef struct VkLayerSettingsCreateInfoEXT {
        VkStructureType             sType;
        const void*                 pNext;
        uint32_t                    settingCount;
        const VkLayerSettingEXT*    pSettings;
    } VkLayerSettingsCreateInfoEXT;

## Members

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

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

- `settingCount` is the number of settings to configure.

- `pSettings` is a pointer to an array of `settingCount` VkLayerSettingEXT values specifying the setting to be configured.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkLayerSettingsCreateInfoEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be `VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_LAYER_SETTINGS_CREATE_INFO_EXT`

- VUID-VkLayerSettingsCreateInfoEXT-pSettings-parameter
  If `settingCount` is not `0`, `pSettings` must be a valid pointer to an array of `settingCount` valid VkLayerSettingEXT structures
