VkMemoryMapFlagBits(3)

# VkMemoryMapFlagBits(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkMemoryMapFlagBits - Bitmask specifying additional parameters of a memory map

## C Specification

Bits which can be set in vkMapMemory::`flags` and VkMemoryMapInfo::`flags`, specifying additional properties of a memory map, are:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    typedef enum VkMemoryMapFlagBits {
      // Provided by VK_EXT_map_memory_placed
        VK_MEMORY_MAP_PLACED_BIT_EXT = 0x00000001,
    } VkMemoryMapFlagBits;

## Description

- VK_MEMORY_MAP_PLACED_BIT_EXT requests that the implementation place the memory map at the virtual address specified by the application via VkMemoryMapPlacedInfoEXT::`pPlacedAddress`, replacing any existing mapping at that address. This flag must not be used with vkMapMemory as there is no way to specify the placement address.
