VkPipelineRasterizationDepthClipStateCreateInfoEXT(3)

# VkPipelineRasterizationDepthClipStateCreateInfoEXT(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkPipelineRasterizationDepthClipStateCreateInfoEXT - Structure specifying depth clipping state

## C Specification

If the `pNext` chain of VkPipelineRasterizationStateCreateInfo includes a `VkPipelineRasterizationDepthClipStateCreateInfoEXT` structure, then that structure controls whether depth clipping is enabled or disabled.

The `VkPipelineRasterizationDepthClipStateCreateInfoEXT` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_EXT_depth_clip_enable
    typedef struct VkPipelineRasterizationDepthClipStateCreateInfoEXT {
        VkStructureType                                        sType;
        const void*                                            pNext;
        VkPipelineRasterizationDepthClipStateCreateFlagsEXT    flags;
        VkBool32                                               depthClipEnable;
    } VkPipelineRasterizationDepthClipStateCreateInfoEXT;

## Members

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

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

- `flags` is reserved for future use.

- `depthClipEnable` controls whether depth clipping is enabled as described in Primitive Clipping.

## Description

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-VkPipelineRasterizationDepthClipStateCreateInfoEXT-sType-sType
  `sType` must be VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_PIPELINE_RASTERIZATION_DEPTH_CLIP_STATE_CREATE_INFO_EXT

- VUID-VkPipelineRasterizationDepthClipStateCreateInfoEXT-flags-zerobitmask
  `flags` must be `0`

Structure Chaining
