VkMemoryType(3)

# VkMemoryType(3) Manual Page

## Name

VkMemoryType - Structure specifying memory type

## C Specification

The `VkMemoryType` structure is defined as:

    // Provided by VK_VERSION_1_0
    typedef struct VkMemoryType {
        VkMemoryPropertyFlags    propertyFlags;
        uint32_t                 heapIndex;
    } VkMemoryType;

## Members

- `heapIndex` describes which memory heap this memory type corresponds to, and must be less than `memoryHeapCount` from the VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryProperties structure.

- `propertyFlags` is a bitmask of VkMemoryPropertyFlagBits of properties for this memory type.
