# vkGetDeviceImageSubresourceLayout(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkGetDeviceImageSubresourceLayout - Retrieve information about an image subresource without an image object

## C Specification

To query the memory layout of an image subresource, without an image object, call:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_4
    void vkGetDeviceImageSubresourceLayout(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkDeviceImageSubresourceInfo*         pInfo,
        VkSubresourceLayout2*                       pLayout);

    // Provided by VK_KHR_maintenance5
    // Equivalent to vkGetDeviceImageSubresourceLayout
    void vkGetDeviceImageSubresourceLayoutKHR(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkDeviceImageSubresourceInfo*         pInfo,
        VkSubresourceLayout2*                       pLayout);

## Parameters

- `device` is the logical device that owns the image.

- `pInfo` is a pointer to a VkDeviceImageSubresourceInfo structure containing parameters required for the subresource layout query.

- `pLayout` is a pointer to a VkSubresourceLayout2 structure in which the layout is returned.

## Description

`vkGetDeviceImageSubresourceLayout` behaves similarly to vkGetImageSubresourceLayout2, but uses a VkImageCreateInfo structure to specify the image rather than a VkImage object.

Valid Usage (Implicit)

- VUID-vkGetDeviceImageSubresourceLayout-device-parameter
  `device` must be a valid VkDevice handle

- VUID-vkGetDeviceImageSubresourceLayout-pInfo-parameter
  `pInfo` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkDeviceImageSubresourceInfo structure

- VUID-vkGetDeviceImageSubresourceLayout-pLayout-parameter
  `pLayout` must be a valid pointer to a VkSubresourceLayout2 structure
