VkMemoryUnmapInfo(3)

# VkMemoryUnmapInfo(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkMemoryUnmapInfo - Structure containing parameters of a memory unmap operation

## C Specification

The `VkMemoryUnmapInfo` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_4
    typedef struct VkMemoryUnmapInfo {
        VkStructureType       sType;
        const void*           pNext;
        VkMemoryUnmapFlags    flags;
        VkDeviceMemory        memory;
    } VkMemoryUnmapInfo;

    // Provided by VK_KHR_map_memory2
    // Equivalent to VkMemoryUnmapInfo
    typedef VkMemoryUnmapInfo VkMemoryUnmapInfoKHR;

## Members

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

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

- `flags` is a bitmask of VkMemoryUnmapFlagBits specifying additional parameters of the memory map operation.

- `memory` is the VkDeviceMemory object to be unmapped.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-VkMemoryUnmapInfo-memory-07964
  `memory` must be currently host mapped

- VUID-VkMemoryUnmapInfo-flags-09579
  If VK_MEMORY_UNMAP_RESERVE_BIT_EXT is set in `flags`, the `memoryUnmapReserve` must be enabled

- VUID-VkMemoryUnmapInfo-flags-09580
  If VK_MEMORY_UNMAP_RESERVE_BIT_EXT is set in `flags`, the memory object must not have been imported from a handle type of VK_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_HANDLE_TYPE_HOST_ALLOCATION_BIT_EXT or VK_EXTERNAL_MEMORY_HANDLE_TYPE_HOST_MAPPED_FOREIGN_MEMORY_BIT_EXT

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkMemoryUnmapInfo-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_MEMORY_UNMAP_INFO

- VUID-VkMemoryUnmapInfo-pNext-pNext
  `pNext` must be `NULL`

- VUID-VkMemoryUnmapInfo-flags-parameter
  `flags` must be a valid combination of VkMemoryUnmapFlagBits values

- VUID-VkMemoryUnmapInfo-memory-parameter
  `memory` must be a valid VkDeviceMemory handle

Host Synchronization

- Host access to `memory` must be externally synchronized
