# vkGetGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsNV(3) Manual Page

## Name

vkGetGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsNV - Retrieve the buffer allocation requirements for generated commands

## C Specification

With `VK_NV_device_generated_commands`, to retrieve the memory size and alignment requirements of a particular execution state call:

    // Provided by VK_NV_device_generated_commands
    void vkGetGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsNV(
        VkDevice                                    device,
        const VkGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsInfoNV* pInfo,
        VkMemoryRequirements2*                      pMemoryRequirements);

## Parameters

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

- `pInfo` is a pointer to a VkGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsInfoNV structure containing parameters required for the memory requirements query.

- `pMemoryRequirements` is a pointer to a VkMemoryRequirements2 structure in which the memory requirements of the buffer object are returned.

## Description

Valid Usage

- VUID-vkGetGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsNV-deviceGeneratedCommands-02906
  The `VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsFeaturesNV`::`deviceGeneratedCommands` feature must be enabled

- VUID-vkGetGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsNV-pInfo-09074
  If `pInfo->pipelineBindPoint` is of type VK_PIPELINE_BIND_POINT_COMPUTE, then the `VkPhysicalDeviceDeviceGeneratedCommandsComputeFeaturesNV`::`deviceGeneratedCompute` feature must be enabled

Valid Usage (Implicit)

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

- VUID-vkGetGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsNV-pInfo-parameter
  `pInfo` must be a valid pointer to a valid VkGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsInfoNV structure

- VUID-vkGetGeneratedCommandsMemoryRequirementsNV-pMemoryRequirements-parameter
  `pMemoryRequirements` must be a valid pointer to a VkMemoryRequirements2 structure
